“Memories saturate my heart and the story of you spills from my eyes.” ­—Grace Andren”

This post is to offer my condolences to the family of Alfie Evans. Little Alfie had a rare degenerative disease. He was almost 2 when he died after doctors took him off life support.

I didn’t know him, but his story touched my heart.

Read the article if you are unfamiliar with his story.

*************************************

His parents fought with doctors to keep him on life support. Doctors in Italy offered to treat him.

Politicians and bureaucrats would not let that happen.

Who has the right to make these decisions?
