About the "god" issue...
This girl is not alive because of god, she's alive because of technology that can maintain her in artificial life, without technology this girl would have died within seconds after birth since she can't even breathe by herself, and in that case religious people would have said that god had his "reasons" to bring her back to him so soon.
You can actually push the religious reasoning further, god didn't want this girl to live, why would he deprive her of a respiratory system if he wanted her to live? Maybe the doctors have acted against god's will by preventing this girl to die at birth.
When a child die at birth, christians generally say things like "god has his reasons" or "god wanted this soul to go straight to heaven without having to endure life". So, how do we know this wasn't the case here? Maybe this child was supposed to die and Man's technology is getting in the way.
There are also many religious groups, including christians, that think that when a child is being born with a defect, it's a punishment from god because its parents have not led a good religious life, so who's right?
Back in the old days, christians even used to think that when a woman gave birth to a child whith that kind of major defect, it was because she had fornicated with an incubus demon.
