Judge REJECTS Alfie Evans Parents' Bid To Fly Their Brain-Damaged Son For Treatment

The family of Alfie Evans has lost its legal challenge to fly the toddler to Italy, as doctors from Alder Hey hospital consider whether he can go home after his life support was removed. 

Mr Justice Hayden turned down the family's appeal today as the 23-month-old, who suffers from a degenerative neurological condition, clings to life more than 24 hours after the doctors in Liverpool stopped providing 'ventilation support'.
