How will they get him to Italy?
I hear that a military solution is in place so you may get your wish, but it won't be at the parents doing because it's easier to arrange a mob, social media campaign and stir up hate to get press time to get someone else to do the job for you.
You keep mentioning this freedom of speech you think I am against and yet are having a go at me for my opinion. Interesting double standards, noted.

I just hope you dont get the communist utopia where the state can arrest anyone they find offensive and stop parents from giving their children care

I read that a helicopter from italy equipped with a medical team was on standby to take him.
As far as freedom of speech, I believe you are confused. It does not mean that I am not allowed to criticize what you say.
It means the government should not be allowed to arrest me for speech they arbitrarily define as "offensive".

Agree with that.
Ps. Good luck in finding a helicopter that can fly from the UK to Italy.
An air ambulance in the UK and a military plane in Italy are both on standby to rush to Alfie's aid.
And Bambino Gesu, the Vatican-owned hospital, confirmed their team is ready to treat Alfie.

You sure about the helicopter?
900 miles from London to Rome, only a couple of birds in manufacture can do that distance.

Oh got it, you were wrong, moving on.
In this incident, the italian government granted this child citizenship, and have set up the means to treat the child.
My issue isnt the UK saying we will no longer pay for this child to receive treatment because it is pointless.
It is the extra step of saying we will use law enforcement to make sure the parents cant give the child other treatment they have lined up.
There is no reason these parents should not be allowed to seek other treatment.
We would like to remind the public that this is a hospital for sick children and it should not be forgotten that many families are going through extremely challenging and emotional times.
We would ask protesters to respect families and staff, including the poorly children in the wards and to ensure that access to the hospital is not restricted at any time, so that services including the blood and ambulance service can run as efficiently as possible

So its not a helicopter from Italy and you added a Military Plane and yet I am wrong? Moving on....
Life support machines are being switched off all over the country every day, and yet in a little corner of England, a nasty vocal minority have besieged and intimidated a hospital with no dignity.

More recent article...
Papers are allowed to update stories as they break right?
Most of what is upsetting many americans is, even with our screwed up health care system that is a decision that gets left up to the families, not a decision handed down by the beauracracy. Typically when the court over rules the family the person in question had a stipulation in their will about pulling the plug.

This has got nothing to do with the thread, yes stories can update and those update may make earlier posts redundant. You don't then go around crowing "I was right, you were wrong" like a 10 year old girl.
So do you have a dog in this fight or are you here to drag it off topic?

It is a decision left up to the families until they start to take the mickey claiming the NHS tried to kill my baby...
As I said previous, at what point does it all get a bit sinister, a 500 bedroom pro life center full of dead children being kept from rotting by a machine? Where would you draw the line?
Also, please remember the NHS is there to provide for sick, injured and dying people, its not a hotel for dead people of any parent who cannot accept a medical professional opinion which then needs to be backed by 3 courts who you still know better than before you turn to the Pope and social media deciding you sill know best.
As far as witch doctors, yes, if traditional medicine failed and the boy is going to die, what right is it of the government to say that a family can not try alternative methods.
And we are not talking about dismembering the boy or something like that; we are talking about him being taken to a humane hosiptal in italy.
Got it he isn't allowed to use more recent information, good to know.
I made my point earlier in the thread, I think its abhorrent the bureaucracy can tell the parents no they cannot touch their child, no you cannot move the child to a different hospital, and no you cannot try any new or experimental treatments because your brain dead child would suffer unnecessarily.
Yet in the next breath they say it will be more humane to let a child die of thirst.
If the child is truly brain dead, then he would suffer no more by loading him up for transport to Italy than he will by letting him die of thirst.
