Alfie Evans' parents to meet doctors in bid to take him home
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The father of terminally ill toddler Alfie Evans says he plans to meet doctors to discuss taking his son home from a British hospital.
The 23-month-old boy has an incurable degenerative neurological condition, and doctors say he should be allowed to die. His parents want to take him to a hospital in Italy, where he would be kept on life support.
The toddler's life support was withdrawn Monday after a series of court rulings sided with the doctors and blocked further medical treatment.

He said that he would go back to court if the meeting does not go well.
