Charlotte Wyatt -- Is this nuts or what?

To sum up this sad story, a baby was born prematurely in England with lots of problems. The hospital physicians decided the baby would be better off dead, and got a court order to allowing them not to resucitate the baby. Althought the baby has continued to improve, the judge will not reverse the order. Nor will the hospital or the judge release the baby's medical records to the parents.

So not only do these parents have the heartbreak of a desperately ill (although clearly not dying) child, they have the medical establishment (which should be their hope) and the judicial system (which should be their recourse should their hope abandon them) turned against them.

This is nuts.
