They are putting this child to death because they are not monsters.
How does that make sense, you ask?
The NHS does not ration care to children, because to do so is monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.
But the NHS will not spend hundreds of thousands of Pounds on futile care, because that would condemn many more to death when there is no money left for basic life-saving care, which would be monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.
Since the do not ration care, because they are not monsters, but they are not providing care, they must be basing their decisions on what is the best interests of the child. So it is in the best interests of the child to die.
Since it is in the best interests of the child to die, they can not let anybody else save the child, because that would be against the best interests of the child. To allow anybody to do anything against the best interests of the child would be monstrous, and we know that they are not monsters.
It is, of course, monstrous to torture a child for months or years on end, and we know that they are not monsters. Therefore it is necessary to make sure the child dies as soon as possible.
So, because they are not monsters, they must kill this child immediately.
EXCELLENT explanation of the rationale of monsters who do not want to be perceived as monsters.
You must have read 1984 many times! My favorite book!
