    I've been attacked by Second Amendment advocates commenting on the #AlfieEvan case for pointing out that some of them are basically threatening to shoot up hospitals and kill doctors. How else, I wonder, should I interpret a Tweet like this one? https://twitter.com/jessekellydc/status/988861224292114433 …

        If the toddler’s name was Mohammed instead of Alfie, would he still have been condemned to die? Just asking. #AlfieEvans

        REAR their ugly heads. I should probably get off Twitter for a while. My typos are becoming more epic.

        It is incredible the huge number of people who cannot grasp the central issues here.

        What the fuck is wrong with some people?? How come so many have real trouble grasping reality? And are, apparently, all too ready to resort to violence.

        A lot of 2nd Amendment 'logic' seems to boil down to "We reserve the right to shoot our cops/army/government representatives if they try to enforce laws we don't like", or in another word 'Terrorism'.

        I think the real issue is that people with zero training in healthcare/ethics/law/end of life care are commenting based on their own interpretation of complex neurology and bioethics, and can't appreciate they may not be the most qualified. I can entirely see why cases like this

        2) get such widespread media attention. As a clear narrative is pushed of powerless parents fighting against powerful doctors/judges to save their child.

        3) It is also very disheartening to see paediatric colleagues being labelled murderers and killers for standing up for what they believe is in the child's best interests. It would be so much easier for them to just go along with the parents wishes.

        Whilst I agree wholeheartedly that they do act in what they professionally believe is the child’s best interest, there has to be a line where the legal guardian of the child ultimately decides. In this case, now, the state should walk away. How can he suffer more in Italy?
