Baby Joseph airlifted to St. Louis hospital

Parents accepted an offer to fly him to the U.S. against the advice of a London hospital.
Thirteen-month-old Joseph Maraachli, who doctors say is in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery, was flown out of London at 10:20 p.m. Sunday by private plane to St. Louis, Mo.
Against the “strongest possible medical advice” from experts in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, LHSC said, Baby Joseph’s parents accepted an offer to fly him to the faith-based ­Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis
