Socialized medicine in action.
Long story short: Baby is being given a death sentence by England's health care system. The Vatican has offered to take the child for free. Doctors in the U.S. have said they believe they have a way to treat him. The parents have the money to take their kid to either place and want the government to release him. The government says, "We've tried everything and you can't have him."

Yet here is a Death Panel in action.
