Alfie Evans, the 23-month-old toddler at the centre of a High Court legal battle, has died, nearly a week after his life support was withdrawn.
The boy from Merseyside, who had a degenerative brain condition, died at 02:30 BST, his father Tom Evans said.
On Facebook he wrote: “My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings… absolutely heartbroken.”
A British doctors group, The Medical Ethics Alliance, expressed its horror over the treatment of Alfie Evans that it called a “medical tyranny.”
After a shocking and disgusting week — which saw the parents of Alfie Evans have to literally fight to save his life — now the justification of decisions by the British Court and medical system has begun. One doctor has already appeared on television defending Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and its decision not to provide Alfie with food for approximately 28 hours after withdrawing his life support without his parents permission.
Forcing 23 month-old Alfie Evans to die by starvation “is not killing,” Dr. Ranj Singh argued on U.K.’s “This Morning” ITV program Friday, Express reports.Withdrawing life-support and refusing to allow Alfie’s parents to take him home, feed and care for him, is, instead merely “redirecting care,” Dr. Singh said:“This is not the killing of a child – this is redirecting care to make them more comfortable.”In Alfie’s case, redirecting care to make him “more comfortable” means denying him food, water and life support. Dr. Singh doubled down on his claim, framing the withdrawal of life support as a way to make patients more comfortable and give them “the most dignifying life”:“Withdrawing life support is not killing someone. It is redirecting care to make them more comfortable and give them the most dignifying life that you can.”
Not surprisingly, Singh is a clinical technician who works for the U.K.’s government-run health care system.
As LifeNews reported, officials at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital waited 28 hours before finally feeding the 23-month old boy, who is fighting a rare neurological condition.
Alfie’s Father Tom Evans confirmed at the time that his son was finally being fed but he condemned hospital officials for waiting so long to finally get him the nutrition he needs.
“They only started feeding him at one ‘o’clock yesterday. It’s disgusting how he’s being treated,” Evans said. “Not even an animal would be treated like this. He’s proving them wrong. It’s time to give him some grace and dignity and let him go home or to Italy.”
Little Alfie Evans has survived for almost 4 days after a children’s hospital yanked his life support without his parents’ consent. That’s despite the prediction doctors made that Alfie wouldn’t live very long after his life support was removed.
Evans said: “We got rejected yesterday to go to Italy unfortunately. We could take it further but would that be the right thing to do, would there be more criticism?”
The decision denying travel to Italy came despite doctors representing Alder Hey Children’s Hospital misleading the court with claims it never said Alfie would die soon after it removed his life support without his parents’ permission. And officials at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital kicked out two paramedics from the air ambulance and made them leave the premises after they were talking with Alfie’s parents. This is the latest example of the hospital’s lack of care and concern for the 23-month old boy who is dealing with a rare neurological condition.
Evans indicated that Alfie is not in any pain and hardly taking any drugs — and he disputed the claim that Alfie should not be able to travel to Italy because of potential seizures, saying that Alfie has not having any seizures and is not on any anti-seizure medication because there was no problem at this time.
Previously, Evans indicated he was very concerned about Alfie’s lack of food — saying then that it has been almost 24 hours since he has had anything to eat and he is just receiving water and fluids. He was worried that hospital staff are attempting to starve Alfie to death in an attempt to prove their contention that Alfie was going to die very quickly after his removal from life support. Eventually, Alfie received food.
A British doctors group, The Medical Ethics Alliance, expressed its horror over the treatment of Alfie Evans that it called a “medical tyranny.”
And Italy’s Healthcare Chief has slammed the decisions by UK courts to treat Alfie the way that they have. The President of the Italian National Institute of Health lambasted the UK High Court’s decision yesterday on Alfie Evans’ that resulted it the children’s hospital being allowed to remove life support over Alfie’s parents’ objections.
Breitbart: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned that the “diabolical” and “heartbreaking” treatment of the 23-month-old British baby Alfie Evans is an example of the “death panel”-like decisions Americans can expect under a fully “socialized rationed healthcare” system.
In a Thursday interview on Breitbart News Tonight with SiriusXM hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak, Palin cautioned that “this type of rationed healthcare controlled by government bureaucrats and politicians” is “the road we’re on” if the United States continues down the path towards a totally government-controlled socialized healthcare system.
So, people in the U.K. will literally stand by and watch the NHS murder their friends and family, and then sing the praises of the NHS and defend it without question. It is Stockholm Syndrome and Jonestown all rolled into one.
This is what happens when you replace the One True Religion with a false religion.
The National Health Service (NHS) – the Socialist medicine juggernaut in the U.K., and, it should be mentioned, the single largest employer in the U.K., is ITSELF the “religion” that replaced Christianity (such as it was since the Anglican revolt, five centuries ago.) I had this explained to me last fall by Brits, and it certainly illuminated many, many things.
The U.K. is now totally lost in terms of being within the domain of Christendom. The white, ethnic Brits, Welsh, Scots and most Irish are completely apostatized and living as pagans. And, as we all know, the musloids are waging a full-on invasion of the British Isles, and the whole thing is now a quasi-territory of the Caliphate. The culture there, I have been told, is pretty much despicable on every level, and basically unlivable except for the incredibly rich.
Last year, I had occasion to be one degree separated from an interaction with the NHS in which a middle-aged person, a beloved friend, was being obviously passively euthanized by the NHS. What brought about my understanding of “NHS as replacement religion” was the fact that NO ONE, including the friend’s family, would do anything to get the person out of the obviously murderous death-grip of the NHS. I was doing everything I could from my location (obviously NOT in the U.K. – shudder) to get an evacuation plan established. Medivac air ambulance contacts, contacts for the best hospitals west across the pond, etc. And…nothing. Only, “The NHS says everything’s okay and the tests show nothing…so…please change the subject.” Meanwhile, the person was dying. In agony.
It was explained to me that citizens of the U.K., including conservatives, basically view and relate to the NHS the way Christian people relate to The Church. The NHS is the neo-pagan religion. The hospitals are the replacement for church buildings. The administrators are like the bishops. The doctors are like priests. The nurses are like religious (sisters). Obedience is required, and anyone who dare question this pagan religion, which is, by definition, the state religion, must be punished and ostracized. And since this neo-pagan religion’s sacrament is human sacrifice, human sacrifice WILL BE OFFERED. It will be offered in the form of abortion, race-replacement (Pakistani for white), euthanasia, and now open, unhidden homicide as we are seeing with Alfie. It is considered the height of virtue in the U.K. to happily participate in this sickening neo-pagan cult of death.
One dynamic at work here is the fact that the British civilization is a totally defeated civilization. And so, in order to keep any sort of delusion of self-dignity after having lost almost all of their territory and being incapable of defending themselves militarily, and apparently unable to defend their own daughters from musloid rape gangs, the Brits have decided to use their glorious socialized medicine paradigm as a proofset of how wonderful and superior their culture is. Deep down, just as with the Germans and the Scandinavians, the self-loathing is so intense as to be suicidal.
So, people in the U.K. will literally stand by and watch the NHS murder their friends and family, and then sing the praises of the NHS and defend it without question. It is Stockholm Syndrome and Jonestown all rolled into one.
This is also a textbook, if not THE example par excellence of the extreme danger of a massive class of Beta Diabolical Narcissist bureaucrats. Can you imagine how utterly purged of love a soul would have to be to work on a neo-natal intensive care ward, be with a little fellow like Alfie for months on end, along with his parents, and then physically grab an oxygen mask away from the parents, as happened earlier today? Nevermind the completely irrational refusal to JUST LET ALFIE LEAVE. Okay, so you don’t want to care for him? Fine. There’s a chopper sitting on your helipad waiting to take him away – forever. Trust, he’ll NEVER be back. There’s a team of pediatricians sitting in the waiting room ready to take over and take full responsibility for him. What possible motivation could there be other than diabolical SPITE in insisting that he stay and DIE? As with so much in the psychology of Diabolical Narcissism, it is completely irrational.
