description: "Alfie James Evans, was an infant boy from Liverpool with an undiagnosed neurodegenerative disorder, later revealed to be GABA-transaminase deficiency. The medical team and the child's parents disagreed about whether to maintain his life support or to withdraw it, resulting in a legal battle. Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust sought a declaration that continued mechanical ventilation was \"unkind and inhumane\", and not in the child's best interests. Alfie's parents, Kate James and Thomas Evans, contested the application."
