"Alta, we wanted you the way you were. You were important, precious and sweet...we will not forget you."
Alta Fixsler was brought to Israel to be laid to rest Wednesday in Jerusalem. The two-and-a-half-year-old Alta was disconnected from the ventilator at a UK hospital and passed away after a lengthy legal battle.
"The plan was to bring her to Israel and take care of her here," her father Avraham Fixsler, said at the funeral at Har HaMenuchot Cemetery. "She came to Israel in another way.

Deathcare, not healthcare.
They could have let the child go LIVE in Israel with her parents.

That answers my question. I figured the NHS had a set amount to be spent on any patient in the Baby’s condition. I wondered if there were any alternate choices available.
So her parents wanted to move her and the rest of the family to Israel, perhaps to receive better treatment, but they were refused that option.
That’s when corporate arrogance and pride gets in the way of whether or not someone continues to live. The whole family gets put through the emotional wringer when such things happen. God bless and protect them.
Way out of context.
