Thomas Evans and Kate James, the parents of 23-month-old Alfie Evans, who passed away nearly five days after UK courts refused to allow him to remain on life support or travel to another country for treatment, appeared on a UK program recently with their second son, Tom, born just four months after Alfie’s death. According to the UK’s Daily Mail, the couple finally learned during Kate’s second pregnancy that they are carriers of a condition which caused Alfie’s significant health difficulties — “a degenerative brain disease called GABA-transaminase deficiency.”
Their newborn son was tested for the same disease but was found not to have the condition. The couple says they have a 25 percent chance of passing the condition on to any children they conceive.
