    Well it is impossibel to put yourself in their shoes.. having to turn off a life support for a family member must be the hardest thing in the world.

    Of course. Which is why it ended up in the hands of the courts. The trouble is that, because something is emotive does not mean that the emotional argument is the right one.
    The kid is going to die and nothing's going to stop that happening. The court has to decide whether him being kept alive because his parents cant bear to face just letting him die is simply causing him to suffer unnecessarily.

    And presumably Sir C is having to pay to keep the thing alive when it has no future.

    I thought the argument was that dr's in Italy and the US think they can help.... if they are willing to pay then you could say what harm could it do when it has been seen that the treatment has helped others

    No, that's President Trump, I think.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    I think he's trying to say that you're so ideologically driven by heartless conservative values that your primary concern about the issue is that you're having to contribute financially to keeping the poor little vegetable alive. I'd imagine he probably also thinks you viscerally hate the boy's inescapably common parents.

    Now don't stir things up by suggesting I am calling Sir C 'heartless'.

    Hmm, I'd expect such a judgement from the sanctimonious left, but I don't think a is one of those.

    I could be wrong. I hope I'm not.
