Jessica's Last Breaths

Clip from Grey's Anatomy Season 5 called "Sweet Surrender."

Jessica is a 6-year-old at the end of her fight with Tay-Sachs disease. Her father is desperately trying to find a cure for her and wants to fly her to Mexico for a Stem Cell Transplant.

Though the portrayal of a 6-year-old with Infantile Tay-Sachs is inaccurate (she is able to talk, move her arms, and has head control), it is unimportant in this moving episode which deals with a parent's struggle with losing a child. Don't watch it without a box of tissues nearby.
