Just heard the court have decided against the parents in the case with the little baby on life…

It must be absolutely devastating! I donated money to try and get the little angel to America for his treatment so this must be a massive blow to the parents :(

@mimibear, aww! They raised the full amount too. I can't even imagine how they must feel right now, I've cried and it's not even my child! Personally I think they needed to be allowed to do the treatment- even if it failed at least they would have the closure of knowing they tried everything. Now they'll always wonder if it could've saved him. Absolutely gutted for them 😥

Exactly x especially as like you said they managed to raise the full amount x there little one is the same age as my Evelyn and i will be hugging her that little bit tighter this evening :(

@mimibear, just awful. Do you know why it went to court? I actually don't understand.. people are on life support all the time and the decision is always down to the guardian/ next of kin. Whys it different this time x

I think it's because doctors can have the power to stop treatment when all efforts are futile. So this went to court because the parents didn't agree with this decision x

The baby has an incurable disease...even if he went to America...personally I wouldn't want my child travelling in that condition..plus the treatment will only prolong his life and not cure him. If it was me..id just accept it...id want my child to be happy and pain free... rather than keep them alive. It should be the parents choice...but again..the doctors usually have the child in their best interest...I think sometimes you just have to accept what the doctors say 😢

@winterbaby95, aah I see. It's a difficult one, I wouldn't like to say I could ever make that kind of decision. It's so heartbreaking! Do you accept what it is and say goodbye, or do you risk keeping your child in pain for longer only to know it will all end eventually anyway 😞 if I knew he was always going to be in pain, the only reason I would do the treatment would be for selfish reasons of getting more time with him. Such a cruel world 😥 x

@jo.wilcox Yeah see...I wouldnt want to keep my child alive longer for the selfish reason of having more time. But then I cant say my attitude would be the same if I was put in their position 😢 so its really hard...no parent wants to make that tough decision xx
