I honestly don't blame them for wanting to exhaust all avenues of possibility to keep him with them.
This is always a heartbreaking and cruel situation to be in for anyone, never mind parents.

I'd support them all the way myself.

It's hard to let go of anyone in this situation.
The turmoil their minds must be in is likely beyond imagining.

I just hope one day they can find some peace whatever the outcome.

There’s only one outcome to all this. The plug will be pulled sooner or later. Right now they are just bed blocking someone else from getting the treatment they need

And the NHS should send the bill to them when the plug is pulled.

I'm hoping that this is some wicked form of Dark Comedy?

it's not going to change though, the child isn't going to recover, the focus should be on saving the living

Possibly tomorrow after 2PM
they could turn the machine, keeping the lad alive, off.

i know how i would feel as a parent, but the sad fact is that the parents are making it into their own living hell by prolonging something that is inevitable

They are, but as a parent what else would you do? I know if it were mine, I couldn't say yes switch him off. He is gone, and as an outsider its easy to say its inevitable but I am sure if you are living it, it isn't that black and white

My feelings exactly Annie.

It's desperately sad but one thing his family can't be left thinking is that they didn't explore and go down every avenue possible.

They are being asked to agree to stop their son's heart beating.
I cannot even try to imagine the trauma in their minds and emotions too.
Just contemplating that.

To them, his heart is beating, it was when he was taken unconscious to hospital.
They don't see it as it's only machinery keeping his heart going.

I'd be supporting THEIR wishes at present.
It's heartbreaking

100%, Annie. It’s devastating all-round.

Exactly this.

We as outsiders can see it from a more clinical point of view.

[Gusto Brunt]

The NHS doctors, chiefs and Judges who want this boy's life support turned off, are a disgrace.

The amount of money the NHS wastes every day is a crime in itself.

They say turn off the kid's life support. Basically, they're saying he doesn't matter. His life is worthless. But if he'd been someone like a Royal, life support would never be turned off.

There are loads of cases worldwide where people have thought to have 1% survival but have miraculously recovered.

It's all about money.
