Alfie Evans...

I don’t mind the fight through the courts, but the ‘supporters’ are being absolutely vile and showing no respect to other families/patients at the hospital.

This. The disruption to the running of the hospital, staff other patients is an utter disgrace.
 
Obviously it's sad for the parents as their child has died in all but artificially induced body function. I disagree with them appealing the court decision but that's their choice.

But.. the protests are disgraceful. They block the road, at one point had a bouncy castle and chip van in the middle of it. One of my friends joined the 'Alfies army' facebook chat and they're calling to storm the hospital and build a human barrier to get the kid out. They're also calling doctors and nurses murderers and intimidating people who are visiting their own relatives. If I had a seriously ill child in there I'd be livid and probably do something stupid. Liverpool is all about community spirit but this is point blank retarded.
 
As a parent and if this was my child I wouldn't be flying to Rome to seek a blessing from the Pope, I'd be spending each day by his side until the end.

Sounds callous but you wouldn't put a pet through this so why would you allow a human to suffer so?

Ultimately it boils down to not wanting to deal with the grief of loss

Which is ****** up, it's basically saying "I want you to stay alive and suffer because I don't want to suffer myself when you're gone"

That and we're taught that life is rare and precious despite there being 7.3billion+ humans on the planet and over 8.3million different species of life

Because **** logic where emotion is involved :rolleyes:
 
My heart sinks every time I read that yet another attempt has been made to prolong this child’s suffering. The media circus is despicable and the crowds outside Alder Hey should be ashamed of themselves.

The Italian government have just granted him Italian citizenship. This is mind boggling and terribly cruel. A best interests decision has to be made on the child’s behalf. This has been reviewed and challenged at every opportunity in the highest courts and all have come to the same conclusion - let the child pass peacefully with some dignity. Sadly much of this little boy’s dignity has been already been robbed of him by the media and his parents and I’m concerned that the Italian government has just taken the last remaining piece of dignity from him. Taking him to Italy (for palliative care) in a media frenzy is possibly the worst thing that could happen.

telling, isn't it? what the fuss is all about.
and it certainly isn't about Alfie's best interests...

A) if one says that Alfie still is conscious - is he not suffering?
B) if one says Alfie isn't conscious - why is his death being prolonged?
 
Am sick to death of hearing about this.

They blocked east prescot road today, police everywhere when they should be policing.

Its stupid just let the kid die in peace, but no social media build up a frenzy and all the dole lights and students are out in force.

Muppets the lot of them.

Irony as well considering Heaven is religions unique selling point, but nooooo, much better to prolong his existence in what I could only imagine is a glorified hell for the poor child, if of course he is capable of that type thought, I'd imagine even with a dead brain there is still some form of sub/conscious thought at some level and if there isn't then what is there to save ?
 
This poor kid has to be let go, i just dont know what the parents are expecting. A miracle?
Its all over, it was ages ago. Instead of a near riot all these hangers on are making it worse, do people not have a bit of bloody intelligence in them thesedays.

What a horrific drawn out grief process, 100 times worse than if it all was over at the beginning.
 
The protests are becoming very disruptive. The roads are being blocked preventing staff getting to work and things like blood getting to the hospital. Staff are being intimidated when leaving work, often with abuse shouted at them (even though the majority have nothing to do with the case). At one point the doctor in charge of his care was forced to stay home for safety reasons. The police presence is immense and required to keep the "army" outside and prevent them from entering. Abuse is being shouted on the ward, basically forgetting that other kids are being cared for, I really feel for other families that are having to put up with this. Its become a right mess and sadly I feel its no longer about Alfie but rather the "Army" itself.

It was and continues to be about the parents.
 
The poor boy is brain dead, but still smarter than those protesters.

I think a part of this is Alder Hey likely have still not been forgiven locally for the organ harvesting scandal.
 
They are really screwing things up the stupid protesters.

Don't they realise the is other kids in the hospital. Its one of the top child hospitals in the country and a gang of muppets are ****ing it up.
 
apparently they've pulled the plug at the hospital, of course the parents have posted Facebook updates saying he's breathing on his own but needs oxygen and the hospital won't allow it... and of course there is the obvious outrage in the comments section, people offering to bring oxygen down to the hospital themselves if the ******** won't allow it etc..
