His parents, desperate for their son to live, think any chance is a reasonable one.
The doctors think such a small chance isn't reasonable, and any chance he does have will just prolong his suffering, or cause him more (e.g. stress involved in transferring him, potential side effects etc.).
It's been through the courts now, so I think now he just needs to be allowed to die as painlessly as possible. It's am awful situation and as I said before, trump and the Vatican etc. Wading in on the issue is just cruel for the parents.
We must have a way of deciding when there is chasm between the views of parents and doctors - and remember it could be the other way round, where the parents seek withdrawal of treatment and the doctors' view is that treatment is benefiting the child.Comment

This was incorporated into Children's Rights Bill linky
This means in any case like this the child has their own legal representative to speak up for them.
And yes some of the articles in the convention contradict one another, so the judges' job is to decide what is in the interest of the child.Last edited by SueEllen; 7 July 2017, 18:17."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
