So how can the UK say they won't allow it? What's their legal basis? That is fucking crazy
The UK apparently has a law where the state (or maybe certain advocacy groups?) can go before a judge and argue that the child's best interests aren't being served. And going by that same article, it's absolutely in his best interests to be taken off life support. It's stated that he no longer has the neural pathways for taste, sight, hearing, or touch and that his brain is essentially just water and spinal fluid. And any brain activity he does have (or did, wikipedia at least wasn't clear if this is still happening) only happens during seizures. There's no way that can be cured.
That said, I'm not sure I really agree with the government having that kind of power. I think I'm officially on the fence on this one.
Yeah, like I feel like the government is making the right arguments for the childs best interests but it also seems fucking weird that they can just overstep the parents and another country like this.
should be like america where you can justl ock your kid in a basement and refuse him medical treatment because kids are your property and religion. ---
