Re: Is it time to let Alfie go ?
It's costs a massive amount of money and resources to keep Alfie alive .
Doctors can't keep every child alive in the hope of a cure there would be no room for the children they CAN cure.
This was brought up by the doctors in the recent TV programmes your child's life .
He said he was besieged and shouted at by surgeons begging for a bed for their patients in the PICU -children that could be treated successfully .
Medicine has advanced so much doctors can keep children alive that they have no way of treating .
This little boy is one of them.
Should we keep children alive just because we can ?
The poor little soul has no quality of life at all .
He 's not really living as if taken off the machines he would die.

If they want to take him to Italy why not let them?
