If there's a real doctor in the US that has something they'd be willing to try, what's the problem? Seems like that's a straightforward decision that should be made by the Doctor and the parents.
The problem is waste of money and resources at others expense.
I'll wait and see what the US MD states about the case after his examination.
Utilitarian health care is certainly an alternative, and would solve a lot of problems in terms of health care expenditures. The implications can get a little uncomfortable going down that road though.
But all this seems like, is they want to take the kid out of the hospital, and go to america for an exam. I assume it'd require some medical transfer of undetermined cost. And it's not clear how it's being paid for. That doesn't seem like it'd be running a tab in the millions, though.
