        This is utter garbage one can only deduce that there is a monetary issue in defaming the staff of one of the greatest Hospitals in the World

        Or they were just fighting to keep their child alive? I don't agree with their initial decision, but I can see why they did it.

        Too true, this is not the only case where GOSH had played God, and having it lead to the death of a child.

        This sad case has brought out a hatred from both sides of the fence spurred on by a media circus wallowing in a family's misery. #shameful

        I'm not sure. To me it is desperation to fight for their child despite tiny odds. As a parent I empathise, but it wouldn't be my choice.

        May I suggest, minister, you consider other viewpoints before making judgement? Compassion is taught to us all. 1/3.

        2/3 To potentially keep a child alive that is suffering without hope of recovery is a heavy burden. I simply said I wouldn't do that.

        The child wasn't suffering and the parents wanted their child treated else where - their rights trampled

        You think you know more than US & UK doctors who said the child showed physical responses indicating pain? Debate over, I'm done. Good night

        Please read up on the legal aspects of this case before you form an opinion. It's more complicated than you think.

        I think the next step they take with their baby needs to be in private and not in front of the media.
