Long story short, the kid is dying of an incurable disease. The parents have secured Italian citizenship and transportation and don’t want him to die. Hospital took him off life support, and he’s survived that and they waited 23 to give him nourishment. Authorities are presently not allowing him to leave, claiming they want him to “die with dignity”.

I say let the kid go to Italy, especially since he can survive off life support. It is no worse than having him stay in that hospital.
