No matter how low your opinion is of Alfie Evans, you can’t change the facts. The truth is, Alfie’s disease did not prevent him from living. He was very much alive. He would have eventually died from his disease, but that was not a good reason to kill him. He was not a useless eater. He was a child of God, with as much right to live as anyone else. Even you.

Thibodeaux: Yes, it's true that Alfie was living a severely damaged brain. But the question isn't "Could he make a full recovery?" "Could he ever qualify for a Rhodes scholarship?" The question is: How do we treat little kids who are dying?

Even when you cannot cure, you still care.

He proved he didn't need the ventilator. All he needed was nutrition, hydration and a little whiff of O₂ in the nasal cannula. Everybody gets that.

His parents wanted to take him home. They could have done that a year ago and it wouldn't have cost Alder Hey Hospital a farthing.

They didn't want high tech. They wanted high touch. But the System said, "No. Here he stays. You can't have him til he's dead."

They humiliated his poor parents over and over again. No second opinion. No treatment option. Travel ban. What did they think he was, a terrorist? In the last days they cut off his nutrition/hydration and obtained his demise by starvation/dehydration. THAT was planned. THAT was not inevitable.

There's absolutely no justification for that.
