That is a complete misrepresentation of this sad situation. Using poor Alfie to press your agenda is pretty unedifying.

Nurses, for example, are by your definition part of the state and so what of it?
The United Kingdom has three separate legal systems; one each for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. ... The justice system is one of the three branches of the state. The other two branches are the executive, or the government, and the legislature, which is the two Houses of Parliament.

The issue is what is in the best interests of the child, not how much it costs.

But this has little to do with the topic other than my assertion that government not allowing a child to be fed is a human rights violation.
It is not the government. I don't know why you are getting so confused about this. Willfull ignorance to fit your preconceived biases?

For the umpteenth time, it is not the Govt making the decision. If not the Courts, who do you suggest should decide?

So instead of saying government, it would be more appropriate to say these people are for “state” control over not allowing a child to be fed

I think that I am more qualified than some chap on the internet Googling away to use a dying child to push his agenda.

That's just not right. Either you are purposefully misunderstanding how things work, or you have problems working out simple concepts.
The issue here is to do with a child who has no quality of life because (frankly) the child has no discernable life on account of being being mostly brain dead. The High Court judgement (previously posted, but clearly not read) covers the fact that the kid is being kept artificially alive with zero hope of any recovery. God is not going to intervene. It an undignified life.
