Will you sign the petition for Alfie's life?

[bodecea]

Thousands of balloons were released into the sky earlier today in a heartfelt tribute to Alfie Evans at a park near Liverpool’s Alder Hey hospital. (((RIP Alfie.)))

So...where's this petition to sign?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Millions are willing to have fits over an animals life. How about the life of a child?

They have a life flight waiting to rescue Alfie and take him to a premiere children's hospital but the judges and hospital claim that Alfie doesn't have a chance. Sounds more like the hospital screwed up and the judges are helping to cover their asses. This is socialized medicine people. It does not mean you will get quality care or even the right to fight for the life of your own child.

If I had listened to doctors 38 years ago I would have missed the pleasure of raising my own beautiful son and seeing his son grow up when doctors told me he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life if he survived.

Alfies petition. Pray, sign and pass the petition around if you believe life is sacred.

socialized medicine is so very much cruel

It's much better to let people die if they can't afford medical treatment.

It seems that the little tyke died ?? sorry------I think it came up on news

yeah he did

after Italy offered to take him in and give him treatments

the court said no and ordered feeding to be stopped

what a great medical system

There was no treatment on offer in Italy. Just palliative care. Why do you people persist with this lie ?

Its sad that these youngsters have been exploited by the lunatic fringe who would use their sick child to further their dubious agendas. Stick your petition up your arse.

Lefties must work hard to be so wrong about so many things.

From the point of view of us who are sane, it can certainly seem that way. How hard would you or I have to strain, to achieve the levels of wrongness that those on the left wrong achieve so easily, with no effort at all? They're different, somehow. Madness and evil come easily, naturally, to them.
