Fight for Alfie

Alfie was a 23-month-old boy in a British hospital who had some kind of deteriorating disease. The hospital decided that removing the boy's life support was in his "best interest."

His father, Tom, organized opposition to the hospital's decision. He went to court, and the judge sided with the hospital. Italy made Alfie an Italian citizen and offered to treat him at Bambino Gesu Hospital. The judge would not allow it. Tom wanted to take his child home. It was not allowed.

Tom finally submitted to the national "health care" system, and Alfie died.
