He wasn't put to death. The poor child was already brain dead. You could have left him on a machine to make his lungs go up and down forever but he was no longer there.

I agree if Italy had agreed to take him then they should have let him move him.

Sorry - I mis-spoke. Unless the move would cause the child pain or suffering, I don't see any problem in letting him move.

I don't think the child died due to the NHS, but sometimes bureaucrats can be a bit over-zealous.
