The parents of baby Indi Gregory, who has a rare metabolic disorder known as mitochondrial disease, have fought legal battles in a bid to continue life support for their child. The legal tussle is the latest in a series of similar cases in Britain that saw doctors and parents spar over the treatment of terminally ill children and the respective rights and responsibilities of parents and medical professionals. The campaign group Christian Concern, which is supporting Indi’s parents, said the parents plan to appeal the ruling. The fatal disease has caused progressive brain damage in baby Indi, leaving her totally dependent on life support, according to evidence presented to the High Court in London. Instead, he said continuation of treatment would “perpetuate a high level of pain and suffering” for the baby.

ROME (Reuters) - The Italian government on Monday granted citizenship to a critically ill baby girl from Britain, in a move aimed at preventing doctors from weaning her off life support and allowing her to be moved to Italy. Eight-month-old Indi Gregory suffers from a rare mitochondrial disease, which means that her cells do not produce enough energy. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government stepped into the controversy by holding an emergency meeting on Monday which made Gregory an Italian citizen. Had the government not acted, life support machines would have been turned off on Monday, Bignami said. The toddler, Alfie Evans, died a few days after his life support was removed.

ROME, Nov 6 (Reuters) - The Italian government on Monday granted citizenship to a critically ill baby girl from Britain, in a move aimed at preventing doctors from weaning her off life support and allowing her to be moved to Italy. Eight-month-old Indi Gregory suffers from a rare mitochondrial disease, which means that her cells do not produce enough energy. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government stepped into the controversy by holding an emergency meeting on Monday which made Gregory an Italian citizen. Galeazzo Bignami, a junior minister, said the government's move would allow the baby's transfer to the Bambino Gesu paediatric hospital, and that without it her life support would have been turned off on Monday. The toddler, Alfie Evans, died a few days after his life support was removed.

ROME (AP) — An 8-month-old terminally ill British girl was granted Italian citizenship Monday after a court in Britain upheld rulings authorizing the withdrawal of life-supporting invasive treatment. Baby Indi Gregory's situation is the latest in a series of cases in Britain in which doctors and parents have sparred over the treatment of terminally ill children. The child’s family hopes the Italian government's decision will add heft to their fight to allow her to be transferred to Italy. Peel ruled that nothing had changed since an earlier ruling that authorized the withdrawal of life-supporting invasive treatment. In addition, it is possible that transferring Indi to Rome would increase her “distress and suffering,” Peel said.

☆ Decizie istorică a papei Francisc. Episcopii şi cardinalii vor putea fi judecaţi de tribunalul laic al Vaticanului

Decizie istorică a papei Francisc. Episcopii şi cardinalii vor putea fi judecaţi de tribunalul laic al VaticanuluiEpiscopii şi cardinalii catolici ai Vaticanului, până în prezent ultra-protejaţi, pot fi de acum convocaţi şi condamnaţi de către tribunalul penal laic al Cetăţii Vaticanului. Suveranul pontif a dorit astfel să afirme principiul egalităţii în faţa justiţiei Vaticanului a tuturor membrilor Bisericii „fără privilegii datând din trecut”, potrivit unui „motu proprio”, un decret emis de papă din proprie iniţiativă. Acest tribunal de primă instanţă a fost extrem de criticat pentru că nu-i putea convoca pe cei mai înalţi prelaţi ai Bisericii. Un fost manager al Fundaţiei Spitalului de Pediatrie Bambino Gesu (deţinut de Vatican), acuzat de deturnare de fonduri, a fost condamnat la un an de închisoare cu suspendare, însă cardinalul Bertone, în centrul dosarului, nu a fost niciodată audiat de judecători.

Sursa foto: APDecizie istorică la Vatican: Papa Francisc a ridicat superimunitatea cardinalilor - acum pot fi condamnațiPapa Francisc a făcut un pas decisiv pentru a face mai credibil tribunalul penal al Statului Cetăţii Vaticanului: episcopii şi cardinalii - până în prezent ultra-protejaţi - pot fi de acum convocaţi şi condamnaţi. Această mini-revoluţie a sistemului de justiţie penală de primă instanţă al Vaticanului, unde oficiază magistraţi italieni laici şi nu preoţi, a fost anunţată într-un text semnat vineri de papa Francisc şi va intra în vigoare la 1 mai. Suveranul pontif a dorit astfel să afirme principiul egalităţii în faţa justiţiei Vaticanului a tuturor membrilor Bisericii "fără privilegii datând din trecut", potrivit unui "motu proprio", un decret emis de papă din proprie iniţiativă.
