So today marks a historic incident in which the National Health Service and the United Kingdom, through Marxist policies and regimes have murdered a 2 year old Italian child. I will be brief on the subject, only stating that no medical diagnosis took place in deciding to kill the child, according to UK court records, doctors held strong opinions and refused to test for the condition they insisted on treating with death. The diagnosis stated that the child could not survive without the aid of life support at all times, and so it was removed and care was stopped. The child was then able to live on his own for 30 hours, at which point he died of STARVATION.

Italy had vowed the day prior to pursue aggressive charges in the event of Evans' death, which came early this morning. Prior to the murder, the Italian government along with the parents of the child had been attempting to take the child for care elsewhere, where doctors had openly stated they knew how to treat him into recovery. All of these attempts were blocked by UK court systems, which claimed that the parents needed to change their attitude before they could treat their child.

Appalling to say the absolute least.

The poor child was left helpless and murdered In a deliberate act of cruelty, that even an animal should not have to go through. Reverse the role for a minute. What If It were their child?
Enough said.

My view on it is: if you aren't going to visit the grave every day and lay flowers, you don't get to decide to remove life support.

Heard about this. It's a shame... If you're going to offer something like public healthcare, parents should still be allowed to seek alternatives. Doesn't seem like they were given the opportunity in this case.

Even so, the "correct" decision must be made when removing life support.

I've heard of countless cases, whereby the medical team advised to remove life support and the patient Improved (a short time after) to live a somewhat normal lifestyle.

I'm appalled by this story. I don't see how UK courts have the right to make such decisions... Especially given the citizenship issues. I sincerely hope the backlash from this will cause some policy change.
I'm not so much entirely against the NHS (they saved my brother's life), but this is inexcusable.

I too hope very strongly that the world influences a change to keep this from happening again. As for the NHS, I don't even have an opinion at this point. I had heard that things were working out so well, but from what I've heard over the last few days about their budgets, it is starting to look like this was not only intentional, but just the beginning. Remember that this same thing happened under Stalin and Hitler. Both of which had very successful socialized healthcare systems until they started running out of money.

I saw this as it was going down. It's absolutely terrible and I think everyone can see just how downhill the UK is going. Hopefully things improve but as it is now, the reputation of the United Kingdom is, to put it bluntly, fucked.

The NHS is doing well, and renowned for what it is. However, people expect more, without expecting to pay more. It seems to be more of a misconception of reality in some cases. This case however, is a rarity and an outrage.

I really am happy to hear that.

A point I completely agree with. IMO, the best care you'll ever get is care that YOU pay for. Doesn't matter what system it is, you get what you pay for.

This case however, is a rarity and an outrage.
