I didn't say the UK was at all concearned with Italy wasting resources, just that after them wasting their own they realized it was a lost cause, so it would be futile to try and do it.
Sure, it wouldn't be futile for the parents to try, but they aren't thinking straight on the issue.
Yeah, but your argument is based on a man of power being emotionally compromised. That doesn't mean the UK made a mistake.
If you're going to use the "Mexico is a shithole because people are fleeing to avoid the violence and to save their lives", fine, do that. Also makes your case for denying immigrants entry seem even more petty and cruel. Here are people trying to escape death for themselves and their children and you're against saving them. See?

My argument is based on the idea that this is not a level of power and control over people's lives that we should hand over to a government.

If the treatment wouldn't cause the kid massive amounts of pain I do not see why the doctors should be able to take that choice away from the parents. I just don't get it. It won't ever make sense. Any true harm from this would seem to be to the parents, but they are adults and can make up their own minds.
I'd feel different if extreme pain would result from this treatment. If it's not going to cause that...even if it fails won't at least something still be learned? About perhaps Alfie's condition? Or about how helpful the new treatment might be in the future for others? At least then if Alfie passed away something would have come from his death.
They did make a mistake, but this wouldn't show that. It would just show they are hypocrites. What makes it a mistake is it seems the only risk was to the mental well being of the parents.
Hell I'd actually support the UK if the government was being expected to foot the bill for this treatment. I would support them not wanting to do it, but there was nothing for them to lose here.

Several people have been over this: the parents obviously aren't in the right state of mind. The baby isn't their property, and in this case as much as they wish the opposite to be true(and I don't blame them for that), the sad case is: the baby could not be saved.
Most of it's brain was either shut down or fluid. Modern medicine, unfortunately, cannot save him from that. Prolonging the baby's life would only prolongue the suffering of the baby/parents and give them false hope.
There was also nothing to be gained. I understand the moral outrage of the government trying to force itself too much into this situation, but I don't understand why their decision that the baby couldn't be saved and thus shouldn't get the treatment is bad.
