In this case there is a percentage the child can be saved and life improved, if there is a chance then the Doctors at Great Ormond street, judges at the high court & European court have no right to rule against the parents. The fact they raised the cash to have this done elsewhere, plus doctors have now offered to do this for nothing means they should at least try.
