Duh!
Socialized medicine is the selling of yourself to the government. THEY decide if you live, or die; THEY decide on your treatment for illness; THEY own you, lock, stock, and barrel.
These parents should declare their Independence from a tyrannical out of control government and flee to the U.S.A. to seek asylum on Independence Day. UK Socialized medicine is a modern day George III.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
They won’t let them bring their child home to die either.
This is all an exercise in government control-freak-ism.
Just who does own the body you live in? Once they pay for the maintenance, the State.

However the late Dr. Sherwin Nuland wrote that there really is no such thing as death with dignity. Other doctors say the same: All Death is Death Without Dignity
Still, the pro-death Left continues to use the phrase successfully to win the battle of public opinion. Remember how Terri Schiavo's husband used it against her parents, pretending that only he had her best interests at heart? And yet, when he legally killed Terri by denying her water, she died a prolonged, agonizing, horrifying death.
“Medical staff at the hospital believed he would not improve and it was best for Charlie to “die with dignity.”
No. They are tired of working on a ‘lost cause’ and want to free up hospital space for another government subsidized patient. The court has said “no more government money on this one!”
This is Twilight Zone-ish
***essentially euthanizing an infant against his parents’ wishes.***
My wife’s niece had a similar situation with a different ending.
Her baby girl was born premature, and was on life support. The doctors wanted to pull the plug and the parents refused. They worked at home to keep the baby alive.
FAST FORWARD 25 years.
The child grew strong, got educated, went to New York and appeared in Broadway shows for a while and later worked in a talent agency.
She now teaches theater and sends many of her graduate students to Broadway and Hollywood.
Socialized medicine is not what Free People needs. It is legalized murder...
