If another organisation wants to risk it along with the parents, why not risk it? What's the worse that can happen? They die during transfer, how is that worse than death by judge?
If the Italian government are funding it, wouldn't they send over their doctors for the transfer?
It just feels more like the judge going 'no, it's our child and we say it dies!' in a stupidly stubborn way than consider outside help. Like the same mindset of saying the NHS is the best ignoring all the problems it has thanks to internal and external factors.
If they can do stupid tiktok dances during a pandemic, then they can spare the time. That or they take a cut to their salary for being lazy.
Governments don’t get to decide if, when, or how your kids die.
Mitochondrial disease means every single cell is incapable of operating at capacity. Even if we could rewrite the DNA throughout her body to cure her of that disease, it's already done irreparable secondary damage.
It sucks, but just because modern life support can stave off the point at which someone becomes a rotting corpse does not mean that they can be saved.
the brain damage would explain the weird facial expression the baby is making
Yeah, I was about to ask about some better context since I could see this making some sense if the poor kid's stuck with something especially agonizing and untreatable.
Not that I'd generally trust the government to make such decisions, or want to give it any kind of control over such things either.
