Good old socialized medicine and government.
Ten-month old Charlie Gard is dying.
The beautiful little baby suffers from a rare genetic condition, and his parents were prepared to let the boy pass away quietly in a London hospital, where he has been cared for since he was born.
But then they discovered an experimental treatment in the United States. It’s a slim chance, and the odds are it won’t help, but parents Chris Gard and Connie Yates wanted to try.
The hospital – the Ormond Street Hospital for Children – had already decided that young Charlie Gard should die. And they were going to do it.
Their government panel ruled that he should be taken off life support so he can “die with dignity.”
So when Chris and Connie raised $1.6 million to fund this last-ditch effort to save their son’s life, they thought they could take him to the States.
The European Court, which apparently oversees whether or not people live or die over there, decided no – Charlie could not be taken out of the hospital. Instead, the hospital was ordered to kill the little boy.
