Comes after parents ask for their son's treatment abroad
LONDON (ChurchMilitant.com) - The appeals court in London is allowing the hospital to pull the plug, contrary to the wishes of the parents of a sick British infant who want to treat their son abroad.
On Monday, Lord Justice Andrew Moylan from the British Appeals Court dismissed the appeal, effectively handing down previous court rulings from the Supreme Court, European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the appeals court and the High Court in London regarding the case involving Alfie Evans, the 23-month-old child with a rare degenerative neurological condition.
Moylan summed up Lord Justice Anthony Hayden's ruling from the High Court, saying, "Treatment is futile as experts both here and abroad agree. Alfie will never make any developmental progress. He has been treated in Alder Hey [in Liverpool, England] since 2015."
"It was not in Alfie's best interests to continue ventilation, that he should only receive palliative care and that it should be carried out by Alder Hey," insisted Moylan.
Luke Mintz, a reporter from Liverpool Echo, tweeted his video of the crowd outside Alder Hey after hearing the court decision:

So in Britain it is the state which determines whether or not your life is “worthy of life”.
Germany won WWII, have no doubt...
Why did we fight WWII at horrendous cost to see countries self destruct and become no different than the Nazis?
Why not free him (them) to pursue their wild goose? What’s the harm — it won’t cost the National Health Service anything to let them go to another country? He (they) are “off the books,” and the point should be moot.
And if the child is doomed by his condition, then why ORDER him (them) to Stay & Die when there’s a shred of hope elsewhere?
Why, indeed...
Because, as with so many other things, it’s not about health. It’s about Authority and Control.
“By God, we’ve ORDERED such-and-so, and that’s the Way It Will BE! WE HAVE DECIDED AND SPOKEN. YOU WILL SUBMIT!!”
They cannot tolerate defiance or even difference. They MUST be in CONTROL.
Damn “them.”
Houston, tx.
The parents need to do this:
1. Say that goofy Islamic conversion phrase: Aloha Snackbar or whatever the hell it is but this is the most important part: ( cross fingers behind back while holding a crucifix and a rosary necklace ) so it doesn’t stick.
2. Tell the hospital that as “muslims” now it is a hate crime to not take your child on the Hadji
3. Get a plane ticket to mecca with transfer in Italy.
4. Don’t board the plane bound to mecca in Italy
5. Get lost in Italy ending up at the treatment place.
6. If the UK government bitches about you lying to them, claim that as a muslim lying to the infidel is totally acceptable.
And what if there was a miracle and Alfie lived?
Again.....
If that were my child I would be really pissed off at the judge that killed my child.
Germany won WWII, have no doubt...
More like STALIN won. But I see your point.
It is hideous, that it has come to this. Remember during the Vietnam War, people were going to move to Canada, or Britain, or Australia, so their boys wouldn’t have to be drafted? In those days, the U.K. was still civilized, though the early stages of socialism had already started. There is no where to go, if our nation succumbs. Pray without ceasing.
They don’t call it Obamacare but it’s the same thing!!
Left == Pro-DEATH
and NOT
Pro-"choice".
Doctors are wrong so often that the idea that courts defer to them is completely frightening. Why no let the parents take the kid to Italy or Germany or even to a Shaman? Who does it hurt?
These bureaucrats are murderers and deserve the traditional punishment for murder.
This reminds me of doctors complaining about terminal patients going to Mexico for cancer treatments. The patients are terminal. Why deny them a chance no matter how thin? Money, that’s why. But more than that, raw naked power. Power to murder anyone.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!
But England doesn’t have a death penalty.
Oh Sarah Palin, there are NO such thing as death panels. How silly.

If this family went elsewhere and the child was helped, it would show the level of care the NHS offers. It would be a real wake-up to the rest of the world and that simply cannot be allowed.
