        Would have been worth the risk to go to Italy. What had they got to lose. It would have given him a chance.

        Very sad for this little boy and his family. The reality is there was no treatment, even in Italy. Italy offered only palliative care. This happens in the US too, for all those so quick to blame the NHS. Hospitals can go to court if they disagree w/treatment.

        Quick to blame NHS? If my child had a degenerative disease and i stopped giving him water i would be charged with his murder. If the State does it against the parents wishes the left calls it dying with dignity.

        If u want to blame anyone, blame the hospital. My point was socialized medicine is not the cause of this. Hospitals in the US CAN AND WILL take parents to court to remove life support or force treatment with they disagree on what parents are doing.

        If you think this is purely a foreign issue and could never happen in the US, you're absolutely wrong. Look it up.

        If this were my child, I would try everything possible to save him until every "possibility" was used up! For the courts to make a decision, re the best interest of a child, when that child has loving parents, who would do what was in his best interest, is appalling!

        Your hypothetical child would be suffering from an untreatable condition until you felt like letting him go. Unless you were in America. Then they just pull the plug when you can’t pay anymore.

        No, we’re speaking of a real child who got better care than he would have in the US and suffered longer than he had to because of how his parents felt.

        When you become a parent, every decision made in your life, revolves around the well being of your child. When faced w/the unimaginable, you want to make sure that you've tried every medical intervention that's out there before the option of death is placed on the table.

        These parents weren't given that. The right to make decisions for what's best for your own child were taken away, when another small piece of hope were presented to them, from other Drs, though the chances were small, was a decision the parents had the right to make, not govt

        I know, personally, what they're going though. They wanted to make sure they tried EVERYTHING to help their child, but that was stripped from them by people who are not invested nor love this child or have the child's best interest at heart, not like the parents do!

        The parents DIDN’T have the Alfie’s interest at heart. The Italian hospital was offering palliative care only. They wanted to keep Alfie alive and suffering so they could feel better. It was purely selfish and medically unsound, which was why the courts denied it.
