VIDEO: Indi Gregory’s Death: ‘Legalized Murder or Socialized Medicine?’ – The American Spectator

Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth of Derbyshire, England, fought hard this year to save the life of their infant daughter, Indi, but ultimately lost to the combined forces of their country’s National Health Service and judicial system.

“Not only was [Indi] denied life-saving treatment from the NHS, but she was also cruelly prevented from obtaining it elsewhere,” Liliana Zylstyra wrote in The American Spectator last month. “In her final days, Indi and her family became prisoners of the U.K. government.”

In a recent episode on the Liberty Mail podcast, Zylstyra, a student fellow at Grove City College’s Institute for Faith & Freedom, reflected further on Indi’s death at the hands of the British government — and what it reveals about the state of parents’ rights in the West.

“[Indi’s death] is made more tragic by the fact that there was treatment being offered her [by the Italian government] … and the British government said, ‘You cannot leave this hospital; you cannot go outside of the country,” Liberty Mail host Katie Kenlein commented. “That would feel like the worst form of tyranny ever.” (WATCH: VIDEO: Parents Want the Right to Make Medical Decisions for Their Kids)

Indi’s parents, as Zylstyra previously reported, have refused to let the memory of their daughter’s suffering fade. Instead, they’ve upheld the dignity and right to life of every person, no matter his or her age or disability.

As Zylstyra explained in the podcast, in the words of Indi’s parents: “We know she is disabled, but you don’t just let disabled people die.”
