There actually has been controversy on this topic, actually. Some doctors speculate a brain can shut down, but not completely, and still leave certain nerve receptors active. So you can feel pain, but your body can't react to it.
Regardless, the baby was then either a corpse or in agony. Both would mean prolonging his life is futile.
