Sorry, missed the bit when a member of H M Government stood over the child with a lethal injection. Oh that's right, it didn't happen.

So, in your opinion, could he have been moved to Italy, and to what end?

Medically, they don't have the qualifications, know how or experience of the doctors. That stands to reason: I'm not even sure why this is being questioned. The alternative is cases like the Welsh boy who died of scurvy because his parents 'knew best'

Has anyone here tried to move someone who is ventilated?

I've already said what harm it would have caused: hastening death and causing unnecessary pain en route

YOU can leave whenever you like as an adult as you are legally competent. You don't have absolute rights over someone else's life or treatment: others are legal persons in their own right and have the right to protection from incorrect treatment.

Do you think they were competent medically then? Like these parents: Death of 'invisible' eight-year-old from scurvy prompts calls for home-schooling register

Why? Seems like a thoroughly decent guy doing a difficult job

Explain what their medical qualifications were...I seem to have missed that fact, as have the judges

So, what, are you saying they DIDN'T have a say in the proceedings. Weird how they're a party to the court action ..

I didn't say "have no say", I said it shouldn't be their sole decision. If the parents were the medical experts you imply then surely they could have treated Alfie themselves rather than take him to a hospital

They did: they had several days in court. The condition gave him the death sentence not the doctors. My sister is a consultant paediatrician and, frankly, I find people making political capital out of this tragic case by trading her profession to be disgusting.

Of course they had a say: they were a party to the court case for goodness sake! Haven't you read the judgements?

IF the parents are medically qualified, perhaps.

Of course they do. It is a matter of fact; there is nothing to 'admit' as if it were some kind of 'guilty secret'

So you think threatening to kill doctors and nurses is Ok? Or forcing staff and patients (other children, remember) to run the gauntlet of a baying mob, telling said patients that the doctors are going to kill them, is Ok? You don't have a problem with that? Dr Ravi Jayaram

So, sorry to disappoint those of you who think we live in some kind of totalitarian socialist paradise (highly unlikely under a Conservative government responsible for cuts in public services so vicious that even Maggie Thatcher didn't dare to make them) where evil doctors bayonet babies for...

Supreme Court 1st hearing judgement: Permission to appeal determination in the matter of Alfie Evans - The Supreme Court

Nope.

It was nothing to do with the Government: the courts adjudicated a dispute between the parents, the hospital and the representatives of Alfie as to what was in Alfie's best interests. Theresa May and her Government had no say in it whatsoever, being subject to the Courts the same as everyone...
