There is a point at which the Doctors, and then the court, can intervene if they think the child is coming to harm.

They may have a better quality life in the U.S and have health insurance. Bottom line is you don’t know, they have held fundraisers over here, so may be they could raise funds to get treatment.

What treatment? No one has said there is a treatment for this condition IIRC.

At least they would have a choice what to do and not being dictated to like our government and ‘Death panel’ in the NHS are doing.

We don't have death panels in the UK. That's a right-wing talking point that they've made up to slate the NHS and our county in general. Finally the Government didn't decide his. It was his Doctors and a independent court.
You said it best when you said 'we don't know'. The only people who know are the Doctors and Parents and the courts have found the former more convincing. I find it odd people in the US can be so sure of what to do in a case they are not involved in. Especially when many of them don't see to understand who makes these decisions and the process involved in making it.
