Italian doctors have offered to welcome Indi Gregory, the 8-month-old girl who lives only on life support
The Bambino Gesù Hospital in Rome intervened in the little girl’s case Then Gregory. The 8-month-old girl suffers from a mitochondrial pathology and lives only thanks to the support of machinery. She is hospitalized at Queen’s Medical Center in Nottingham. However, after her parents lost the legal battle in the United Kingdom and after the request to be transferred to the Italian hospital, the judge of the High Court of London said “No”.
The Bambino Gesù of Rome made himself available to welcome the little one Then Gregory to continue to keep her alive with life support and to support her parents, torn apart by grief. However, the request was rejected. The judge agrees with the British White Coats, who requested to unplug and put an end to the agony of the minor. It has already happened previously with two other children: Charlie Gard And Alfie Evans. The Italian doctors had offered to welcome them within their hospital walls, receiving a “No” as an answer. Both died after the UK’s decision to disconnect life support.
The heartbreaking words of little Indi Gregory’s father
Indy’s parents, Claire Staniforth and Dean Gregory, they are devastated. They are fighting to ensure that the same fate does not happen to their little girl. They lost the legal battle against the English doctors. The court’s decision on the refusal of the transfer to Italy was defined as fair in the interests of the minor, since a trip to Italy would lead to further suffering. The father is incredulous, cannot give up and has defined the judge’s decision as “repugnant”.
Moving my daughter to Italy could pose other risks, I might agree. But the only alternative they gave us for our daughter was to accept her death by disconnecting the machines. So what would we lose if we brought it to Italy? We will appeal, we have no intention of giving up. She is our daughter. There have been other cases in which the wishes of two parents to take their daughter to another hospital were accepted.
Words attributable to the case of little Tafida Raqeeb, 5 years old, who was taken from London to the Gaslini in Genoa. In her case too, she had been asked to disconnect life support. Her parents managed to win the legal battle. In Italy the little girl improved and she came discharged in 2020. His story was a story with a happy ending. The same thing happened to little Alex Montresor, transferred from Great Britain to the Bambino Gesù in Rome. He came saved thanks to a stem cell transplant.
