I understand where you are going with this.
Child dying of cancer, parents want the child to drink arsenic to see if it will help.
One western hospital to another is so far from that as to not even worth discussing as a distraction.
Sorry bro, you can't use the idea that I support taking children away from shit parents because they beat them to justify not letting parents take home their dying child, or seek a second opinion from a different western hospital.
Evil is Evil.
The comparison to drinking arsenik was about parents not always being the best to determine what's best for their child. Emotionally, any parent would probably want to choose the Italy option. Even if there's no hope of a cure.

Three experts from the Bambino Gesù hospital visited Alfie in Liverpool at the request of the parents, but they agreed with the doctors that further treatment would be “futile” in finding a cure.
However, they also said they were willing to take the tot to Rome to undergo operations to help him breathe and receive food, which would keep him alive for an “undefined period”.
What they're offering is a stall. Seems to me not to be an invasive or harmful stall, though, so I do support letting the parents go to Italy. Give them a little more time to say goodbye, under a more stable environment.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
