I agree 100% OB but it would appear there are few that put Alfie first when going to the courts. Alder Hey consulted with the parents every step of the way, got their own opinions from other leading children's hospitals as well as those suggested by the parents.

Each and every one agreed there was nothing to be done in this unfortunate case. All the Italllian doctors offered was continued palliative care and more tests.

For every parent in cases like this they can be manipulated because (understandably) they are looking for a solution. I would hate to be in the same position but like it or not eventually you have to accept that there's nothing more to be done.

American Christian groups do nothing more than offer false hope and IMHO extend suffering.
