Now I lay me down to sleep

Yesterday the N&O published photos of a terminally ill child cradled in his parents arms right after his death. The photos illustrated a feature story about Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, a group of professional photographers who volunteer their time to make memories for moms and dads with children in dire medical circumstances.

Ted Vaden writes about why the paper decided to publish the photos, which made some readers queasy.

We wrote about the same organization in 2006 -- discussed here and here -- and it looks like the N&O made the same decision about the photographs we did.
