The best doctors in the world could do nothing for him. You'd rather he continue living on life support?

I believe there was a time when the experimental treatment legitimately could have worked, but that time was wasted fighting through the courts.

They weren't the best. Second of all the courts wouldn't even allow these people to try procedure with their own funds.

Even if the child passed away, the data gathered could have been used for the next person with the condition.

Pretty sure there were doctors that wanted to try something for him, and the gov said no you can just keep him on life support

This. The British powers that be in this deserve some shite for warehousing this kid, but this was always a horrible sample case for this. This boys chances were abysmal. Chances of him being "normal" were zero.

Sad all way around. But that kid didn't have cancer. Cancer would have been easy. He had DNA abnormalities. A horrific disease.
