What is the rush to let this little kid die?

Particulary as the Vatican are willing to intervene and give him time?

 
Agree Tek. Has nothing to do with staff at the hospital he is at who I'm sure are doing wonderful work.  State should not determine if your child should be put down though, especially when there is a willing alternative.

Stories like this amaze me.

It scares me frankly that the Courts can decide when and where your child will die and not the parents, if they were gravely ill. That can't be right. 

A very sad case indeed. Heartbreaking infact.

Personally I thought the way the Dr's and hospital were demonised was nothing short of a disgrace. The Hospital had no right of reply as it can't comment on individual cases due to privacy laws so it was a one sided narrative.

The poor lad had been hooked up to machines for 16 months, no chance of recovery despite what Alfie's Mob were screaming outside the hospital. Theres no way to restore destroyed brain cells. The Vatican offered nothing that wasn't already on offer at Alder Hay. It was nothing to do with costs either, to keep him alive like that would have been inhumane. There was no cure for him.

It was a horrible and sad story and I feel for the them losing there son like that but the way it was all played out in the media and especially social media was disgusting.
