Alfie Evans is a sick little boy in the UK. He was developmentally delayed, then he went into a coma, them he was put on life support. His parents wanted to take him to Italy or Germany for an experimental procedure.
The British National Health Service took them to court and had a judge order that the boy not be allowed to leave the country and now thr boy’s life support has been removed.
New: Alfie Evans family has lost its legal challenge to fly him to Italy for treatment in what judge calls the “final chapter in the case of this extraordinary little boy”

This is full blown socialism in the UK. The sanctity of life is subjugated to the whim of bureaucracy by a judge’s order. Alfie was just a little boy and his life is far less important than the bean counting of the NHS.
Today another child was murdered in the UK. Not by some thug with an unregistered pair of pinking shears but by a judge’s gavel.
The nation the birthed the age of enlightenment has fallen into darkness.
Thomas Locke and William Blackstone have been replaced by Marx and Engels.
God save the Kingdom because the Parliament and Judiciary are killing its subjects.
The bedrock belief of Marxism is that the individual is nothing, the State is everything. Thus, anything an individual has is liable to confiscation by the State. Any rights the individual has are only those granted by the State.
If the State decides to take your life, liberty, or property, it can.
And people wonder why I am opposed to socialized medicine, like the NHS.
Give me free market any day of the week
There is your death panel and “hanging judge” with nationalized health care. It is what the Democrats want to inflict on us.
Obviously a “useless eater” with a “life not worth living” Goebbels and Himmler would be proud.
As would Hillary and Obama and Kennedy.
