Also in the article it does mention that they aren't sure which strain of this disease (congenital myasthenic syndrome,) the baby has and dependant on which, it can be treated.
I think my question is, has all options been exhausted and is it a matter of financial involvement that may be hindering his treatment?

This is what I hate about this whole debate! Withdrawing life support is NOT killing a patient. It is NOT providing extraordinary support to prolong life that cannot be supported by itself.
And if this is England, I doubt financial issues are at all involved. They have universal health care which should cover this child. This has to do with deciding whether or not it is more cruel to treat this child or to end his treatment.
