Thinking things through: After Alfie

Tom Evans' little boy Alfie was sick, so they took him to the hospital. Doctors decided the child should die. Tom didn't want the boy to die. But the British government enforced the doctors. Police guarded hospital exits to prevent Tom from taking him home. A judge prevented Alfie being moved to a hospital where he could be treated. The government won. The child died.

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust had paid over £145,000 in legal bills in its quest to bring the child’s life to an end.

Alfie's aunt commented about that: “Over £145 to kill my nephew?!” she wrote. “We had a hospital. We had the money to take him elsewhere. We had the plane ready. We had Alfie fighting, and they paid this to kill him? Ask yourselves why.”

Tom and Alfie's mom plan to go public soon with more information on the last days of Alfie's life. “Me and Kate will never come to terms with it and will never accept Alfie’s death or cause of death.”
