I think he has just been granted Italian citizenship... Wonder what that will change

Let the parents take him.I don't see what the problem with that is

I thought he'd already died

Pope has intervened and all the family have been made Italian citizens. Today demonstrators outside the hospital tried to break into it and abduct alfie

Sad situation all round. Stupid to try to break in and abduct the lad imo.

Court would still have to give permission

can't say they're right but surely the ruling would be about undue suffering etc and not a stated death sentence.
don't see what he has to lose, the hospital should just have it's lawyers draw up some paper work to state that moving him goes strongly against their medical opinion and that the parents absolve them of any further responsibility over the outcome. then just let them go.

Very sad story all round.

I just don't know why they would stop it, if it was their child they might see it differently, doctors aren't always right

The establishment are psychopathic killers though so dont be surprised

As has been proven , smacks of professional jealousy

wonder what would have happened to ashya king if..........

When the state insists your child has to die, when you as the parents wanna try and give your child any chance to fight for the right to live, it's understandable that people should want to rise above the state.

For they are just a group of people who aren't the child's family. How absolutely dare they. They stand only as an enemy of that bloodline.

I would kill anyone who stands in the way of giving my kid her chance. That is survival. The state can frankly fk off, what they believe is irrelevant.

Not by the courts though

ashya king?

Gotta admit, this one did touch a nerve. But you have to realise. My kid was born so ill i saved her life countless times, personally, the day she was born. Even the advanced Stoke Mandeville hospital couldn't cope, and we were rushed to John Radcliffe. Every day for a year we kept her alive exhaustively.

Tubes and machines and syringes for lungs and stomach, and tongue, prescription milk, every morning was a hope she was still alive. It killed us. But she survived. Every moment was for that fight.

Ain't nobody in a suit we never met telling us whether they were gonna allow us to keep fighting or not.

Didn't they say the same thing and then private healthcare ended up up saving him? Went as far as arresting the parents if I remember correctly.

Agreed.
It looks like a difficult period of child birth too.

yup, he had no chance, apparently
