Alfie's Life

Alfie rushed through the narrow tunnel and ignited the flames tense in front of his eyes and flashed Jessie next to him like a flame and attempted to keep up with his fast pace. He took a deep breath to calm him; the coldness of the wet land filled his nostrils and shook back and forth in the dark air. He was wearing a thin white cotton T-shirt and shorts, and his body betrayed him, reminded him that there was no heat in the underground wilderness. He trembled and the hair of his limbs stood up like a soldier.

Last weekend, the battle for a month against a child with a terminal illness ended. Alfie Evans is a 23-year-old child who died of degenerative nervous system several days ago. Alfie has been supported for life until the British government decides that there is no reason for Alfie to live even if his parents protest. The two articles I read in this article are from the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation. Both have quite different views on this topic. The use of vocabulary, stacking, and citations in these two articles has made the reader believe that due to Alfie's death this is all a government mistake, or that Alfie needs to be released from life support .

These three facts - lack of quality of life, impossible to recover, and the possibility of suffering - led to Alder Hey's staff, who demanded Alfie's life sustaining closure. Alfie's parents, Tom and Kate, are struggling to cope with the transition from treatment to relief. They want to move Alfie to Bambino Gesù Hospital in Italy. Where the Catholic Church is willing to give him life support. Alder Hey and the British court system are considering this for Alfie's best interests and Alfie should be allowed to die with dignity. After leaving life support and finishing his life plan, Alfie died early early today.

Catholic church performances are shocking. Continued life support it provides violates many doctor's advice. It overrides the concept of that narrow life over anything else. It has no rights on the quality of life of Alfie and the death of his dignity. The only exception is the British Bishop Conference in the UK and Wales that supports Alder Hey. It is natural for people to react emotionally to this situation. But do not ignore palliative care as the best choice for Alfie. Melanie McDonagh and Douglas Murray insisted that despite all the evidence in The Spectator the hope of Alfie's parents should be respected anyway. But this is very dangerous. Sometimes the best interests of children are inconsistent with their parents' wishes. That country will then intervene for the child. Otherwise, it is to pamper the feelings of their parents about their child's welfare.
