Re: R.I.P Alfie Evans 'Dies’ after life support ends

We do not know how damaged his brain was, he did not have a diagnosed brain condition, they did not know everything.

I maintain my view. It should still not be left up to the State to decide on when someone should die, unless of course we are now deciding euthanasia should be legal.

I say this was Euthanasia in my eyes because they removed the ventilator, an act they would know to intentionally cause Alfie's eventual death.

Alfie was still responding to stimuli and reacting to his parents touch, his life should have been preserved until ALL medical avenues were exhausted, they were not because they were tied up in the hospital interfering in the parents wishes to take him abroad and they did so with months of litigation. It was the same with Charlie Gard, months and months of legal wrangling to the point it passed a dreadful reality where there was no hope.
