They were trying to bring him to the U.S. judge ruled they cannot, he must die.
This is so wrong on so many levels. This case solves all the arguments we hear about cases like this; the parents were in agreement, not expecting the taxpayers to pay, found doctors in U.S. willing to put him into research program.
The problem is the government (judge) says no, doesn’t matter what the parents want. Definition of nanny state.
If that’s the case, then I would probably have no objection if the parents armed themselves and spirited their child away from the hospital at gunpoint.
