Verbatim
“This condition led to a decision taken on his behalf, and that of Judith, that it was in Stephen's best interests to not receive access to modern medical treatment, and instead be left or encouraged to die given its assumed inevitability.”
“What we're looking at is the perpetration of a massive injustice.”
“This condition made him less desirable for adoption by prospective adoptive couples and may have influenced how he was subsequently managed by Miss Stannard, other staff who worked in the home, and outside medical expertise.”
“These unaddressed concerns may have contributed to Stephen's poor care and can be seen in relation to the reasons for other infant deaths and stillbirths in the home over time”

Professors, researchers and think-tank analysts quoted on the strength of their research rather than a clinical role. Citations are counted by an automated scan of UK press coverage and may be incomplete. Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
