UK judges are facing criticism for denying critically ill children, who have been effectively sentenced to death for needing life support, the opportunity to seek medical treatment abroad. This has led to their impending deaths, despite offers of citizenship and treatment from Italy and the Vatican hospital. The children include Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans, Isaiah Haastrup, Alta Fixler, Pippa Knight, and Archie Battersbee. The British government has also faced accusations of preventing a father from seeking medical care for his baby girl, leading to her imminent death in hospice. In one case, a judge refused to let a sick child die at home.

At no cost to the British taxpayer, this very sick little baby could go to Italy for treatment. Italy has granted her citizenship. The Vatican hospital has offered treatment. But UK judges believe she's better off dead. She will die today. Evil bastards. https://t.co/jOIsgXPbHd
