So sad!
A 17-month-old boy who hasn't even been named and suffered brain damage has died days following a ruling by a High Court judge Ms Justice Russell, directing that he should be taken off a life support machine which the family were not in support of.
The little boy was prematurely born by emergency Caesarean Section in ‘poor condition’ and had been in the care of a hospital managed by London’s King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust until his death. It was learnt that the NHS Trust had asked the judge to rule the withdrawal of the life-support treatment.
Meanwhile, he reportedly went through a cardiac arrest which lasted for about 20 minutes and needed resuscitation.
Last week, the judge, Miss Justice Russell ruled that it was better for the boy to be relieved from the ‘life-sustaining intensive care’ asserting that the little boy was going through ‘profound irreversible brain damage’.
Speaking about the death of the little boy, a lawyer Yogi Amin who stood in for the parents of the late boy expressed that the death of the boy had caused them serious pains.

So sad

Sad.

Oh God give us children that will bring joy and happiness into our life instead of pain in Jesus name, amen.

Maybe they should have just let him die on his own terms.

Although I understand such life support costs too much and when a case of irreversible brain damage with no chance of survivial is involved,it always most sensible to stop prolonging the suffering and wasteful expenditure.

But...
