There is no easy response in that kind of situation.

The judge was doing his job, based on the opinion of experts. I doubt you are expert enough, nor heard the evidence that was given to be able to call him stupid and unethical.

How much money was raised only matters if what it was raised for is going to do this child any good. Most of his medical problems are now irreversible.

It's a very sad case but blaming people who view it differently based on the information given doesn't achieve anything. I hope that whatever happens going forward that this poor little boy isn't going to suffer more.

I agree jaxie. I think the problem is that most people are so terrified of death, that they believe there is nothing WORSE than death. So it should be "life at all costs". But there certainly are "fates worse than death". Being totally frank in this situation... A decision needs to be made about whether pushing forward is in the best interests of the child, or just in the best interests of the parents. People need to figure out whether they are sympathising with an individual who is enduring unimaginable suffering, or with the loss that the parents will feel when he's gone.

I do sympathise with both but there's an obvious priority.
