I read this as, "Hey, your baby can't think. Let's kill it and harvest its organs for our elite babies."
It doesn't matter what you think. It really doesn't matter what any of us think. The child has been born, named, loved, etc. "It" is human. Calling a baby "it" does more than rob it of personhood. It robs the baby of humanity, which is not within anyone's power. You cannot just state that the baby is not human. Words have definitions for a fucking reason. I don't think you're an ass or anything for thinking the way you do. That kid should rightfully be dead. I just think you're wrong.
Then she is a baby that is brain dead.

So, say a baby is brain dead. Then what?
