I’ve just heard of the death of this poor little girl on the news.
After 3 months of life support it was withdrawn this morning and she died in her parents arms.
Her medical team had told her parents that she was distressed and in pain since September, and advised life support should be withdrawn, as there was no further treatment for her. Then Christian Concern got involved and presumably influenced the distressed parents into taking the case to every available court to request treatment be continued.
Apparently, emergency Italian citizenship was granted to the child so treatment could be sought in Italy.
If Christian Concern had so much concern, I believe that should have led them to believe it would be kinder to let the little girl die in peace, instead of dragging out the suffering of the child and parents.
The parents have hung onto every thread of hope encouraged by this group, and I feel so sorry for them, the child, and the medical team.
The judge involved criticised the way the case had been brought.
