Judge in Alfie Evans Case: Quit Telling Me He’s a Human Being, “There’s Virtually Nothing of His Brain Left”

The Alfie Evans case is the latest in a long line of cases where courts and doctors have determined that patients are supposedly too far gone and supposedly don’t have the quality of life to justify even basic nutrition or care and treatment — let alone experimental treatment to try to treat their conditions or diseases.

Nowhere was this more on display than in Judge Hayden’s courtroom yesterday where the British judge had no interest in attorneys for Alfie’s family reminding him that Alfie is a human being worth legal protection.

Witness the exchange below between Justice Hayden and Paul Diamond, the attorney for Alfie’s family, who desperately attempted to remind the judge that Alfie as a little boy and a human being who deserves better from the British courts and medical system. But the judge wanted no part of that reminder — and actually used it to admonish Diamond to encourage him to quit saying Alfie is a human being.

The unbelievable exchange appears below:

But Mr Justice Hayden cut down Paul Diamond, representing the parents, as he began the family’s appeal hearing.

Mr Diamond said: “This really is an appeal, in our submission for common humanity and common sense…”

The judge interjected: “I don’t think it’s helpful to use emotive terms. As a barrister confine yourself to the law.”

Mr Diamond gave a witness statement from Mr Evans, taken on Tuesday, to the court suggesting his son’s condition is “significantly better” than had been previously believed.

Mr Diamond said the child had been breathing unaided for 19 hours.

He continued: “We do have a human being…”

Again the judge cut across him: “I don’t need to be reminded we have a human being. You do not have the moral high ground in this court. It is treacherous terrain.”

As if that wasn’t enough, Justice Hayden used yesterday’s court hearing to explain his bizarre quality-of-life rationale for limiting Alfie’s parents in their attempt to provide medical care and treatment for their son. Hayden almost seemed to delight in telling everyone in his court room that some doctors essentially think Alfie has no brain left.

SIGN THE PETITION! Please Let Alfie Evans’ Parents Take Care of Him

From the report:

During another three-hour hearing on Tuesday at the Family Division of the High Court sitting in Manchester, Paul Diamond, from the Christian Legal Centre representing the parents, suggested the alleged change in the position meant the court should reconsider its decision on allowing Alfie to travel abroad.

He handed the court a witness statement from Mr Evans in which he suggested his son’s health was “significantly better” than first thought since life support was withdrawn at 9.17pm last night, as he was continuing to live and breathe.

But Mr Justice Hayden said in his ruling: “The sad truth is that it is not. With little, indeed no hesitation, I reject that.

“The brain cannot regenerate itself and there is virtually nothing of his brain left.

“There is, in truth, with great respect to the efforts of Mr Diamond, no substance to this application, which represents, at least within the court process, the final chapter in the case of this extraordinary little boy.”

For those wondering how a judge could prevent Alfie’s parents from taking him home or letting them take Alfie to Italy for treatment, there’s your answer. Alfie is supposedly too far gone to be afford even basic medical care and apparently courts and hospitals are best to determine that instead of a patient’s family.

The judge is a rage filled, hateful faggot. So while this behavior on his part is awful, it’s not surprising.

That filthy judge has a good chance of spending eternity in ‘treacherous terrain’ instead.

Prayers for Alfie and his family. God’s will be done for the glory that is His.

I think it’s comical that the judge told him to restrict his comments to the law. That judge needs to look in a mirror.

This is what is in this judge’s future when he faces the One True Judge and you can take this to the bank!

Matthew 25:31-46

31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” 37Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” 40And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,* you did it to me.” 41Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” 44Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” 45Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” 46And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’

This is England? This is English Law, that punishes those who defend themselves against Muslim attacks?

The “Betters” of English Society have, for some reason, turned England into a Game Preserve for the Muslims.

The “Betters” have their security forces, their gated communities, and they have provided the Dole to keep the rest of the English fed, clothed, housed and available for the depredations of the Muslim invaders.

We have a saying, here in the States...”An armed person is a Citizen...A disarmed one is a Subject!”

It looks like the Subjects of England are marching into the boxcars.

This “judge” (playing god) is in the example of those who decided Dred Scott was essentially not a human being and Roe V. Wade, where unborn humans were declared non-human... therefore have NO human rights and can be destoyed!
