Just another litmus test indicating the stupidity of an element of the general public.

The interests of the patient should always be paramount, regardless of age. Only difference is that older folk can usually express their requirements whereas some, including the newly born, have to rely on responsible adults to do the right thing.
Everyone is thinking of the interests of the child here. There's just conflict about what is best for him. I don't doubt the parents are doing what they believe is right.
People who react in this abusive way are despicable.


I have said little on this case for two main reasons - I don't know enough of the complexities and it is nothing to do with me.

Thank heavens.
Unfortunately we see sections of society turning to violence when they dont get their own way.

I doubt many, if any, of them have sufficient information to make a good call on this. I know i certainly dont so I have to rely on the experts. One thing I am very doubtful on this case though are the intentions of the US doctor. It does rather seem to me that they are looking on this poor infant as a guinea pig to further their ideas.
Not at all surprised. I was involved in an NHS consultation process around 10 years ago. It was in a very “nice” area of the UK. One of the consultants involved got threats and had his house windows smashed and after the first consultation the Trust had to employ burly security guards to safeguard staff at the meetings. At one of them police had to be called to break up the crowd in the car park afterwards and staff (of whom I was one) were put in a room protected by the security guards until it was safe to leave.
