发帖数: 20965 | 2 Alfie Evans update: Parents to meet with doctors to ask if they can take
their ailing son home
看看白皮被系统整残了的样子
The father of terminally ill toddler Alfie Evans said Thursday that he plans
to meet doctors to discuss taking his son home from a British hospital.
Pope Francis has been praying for the boy, and the Italian government
granted the child Italian citizenship and lined up a transportation plan
that could swiftly bring the sick 23-month-old boy to a Vatican hospital.
But Alfie’s doctors say he cannot be healed and shouldn’t make the trip at
all.
On Tuesday, a British judge sided with the doctors, saying that the family
cannot accept the offer to take Alfie to the Vatican for treatment. An
appeals court swiftly re-heard the case and upheld the previous day’s
ruling, saying on Wednesday that Alfie cannot leave the country. His father
has appealed to Pope Francis to travel to Liverpool to see the situation,
according to an Italian news agency.
The little boy’s case has become a subject of fierce concern for some
Catholic and other Christian activists, who have protested outside the
hospital in Liverpool where the boy is being treated. Calling themselves “
Alfie’s Army,” the protesters say that the British doctors’ decision on
Monday to remove Alfie from life support violates the sanctity of life as
well as his parents’ wishes to continue seeking treatment to keep him alive. |
