There is something deeply, spiritually wrong in Britain. Disturbing and sickening are other words that could be used to describe it.

It is on full display in what is happening to Indi Gregory, an eight-month-old baby who suffers from a serious mitochondrial disease, the Christian Post reports.

Cleveland Clinic defined Mitochondrial disease this way:

Mitochondrial diseases are a group of genetic conditions that affect how mitochondria in your cells produce energy. Mitochondria produce most of the energy your body needs. If you have a mitochondrial disease, your cells aren’t able to produce enough energy. There isn’t a cure, but treatment can prevent life-threatening complications.

As Cleveland Clinic writes there isn’t a cure, but notice what it says in the last line: there are treatments to keep it under control.

This is where the problem started. Indi is currently at the government-funded Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham and her parents want to take their daughter to a clinic in Italy that is offering should we say superior medical treatment.

It will cost British taxpayers nothing. The Italian government has agreed to pick up the full tab for the treatment at Rome’s Bambino Gesù Paediatric Hospital.

Instead, QMC wants to take Indi off life support and let her die, even though there is evidence that the Italian hospital offers better treatment alternatives. There is currently a legal ruling preventing QMC from doing this until Saturday.

QMC is also refusing to provide the air ambulance service ready to transport Indi to Rome with a risk assessment of the baby’s condition.

In a recent court case, a judge ruled in favor of the hospital stating it was in the best interest of the baby to stay in the care of the British hospital that wants to pull the plug.

The family, which is being represented by the Christian Legal Centre (CLC), has appealed the ruling.

“There is a hospital prepared to care for Indi in Rome. Indi’s parents desire to give her every chance they can. Why would anyone try to stop this happening for them and for her?” asked CLC legal representative Andrea Williams. “To deny them this opportunity is unimaginable, unjust and perverse.”
