On Tuesday, according to lawyers representing Alfie’s family, a British judge sided with the doctors, saying that the family cannot accept the offer to take Alfie to the Vatican for treatment.

They can’t allow socialized medicine to look bad.

Alfie is the property of the State.
And the State intends to murder this innocent.

I am generally on the side of medical professionals on this stuff. But if they want to take the kid to Rome, they should be allowed to.

What an incredible decision. The Vatican offers its medical services and this judge turned them down? What was the reasoning .... “Once we make a decision it’s final”?

It seems God has taken a back seat to Judges and NIH who act as the authority in life and death. It is so very Naziesque.

God is highly ridiculed in modern UK. During a job interview I was ridiculed for saying I attended a local church. Also asked at another if I planned to get pregnant because I was newly married. The TV media consantly berated Christans as being “happy clappy”.

How is he suffering if the ‘doctors’ have determined that he has no brain function? Either he has brain function and should be helped or he doesn’t and they should release their control.
