A cynical part of me thinks there’s a financial piece too. It’s going to be too expensive to pull him through and support him, keep him living. It sets a precedent. Some bean counter just got a say in Alphie’s medical decisions.
As I sit here on FR in outrage for several days trying to figure out what on earth their reasoning is, you both make entirely too much sense, thank you. Interesting how no official reason is given other than the vague “best interests of the child.”
This whole thing is absolutely bone-chilling.
The ironic thing is, Alfie’s care would cost the NHS nothing further if he’s goes to Italy, it is covered by fundraising and the Vatican hospital - but it’s their fear of losing face and that other families would request the same.
