Why do you think that the depictions of death have him wearing a black robe?

Let the kid go home to die for Chrissakes. They already prevented him from getting treatment that may have helped. Now they want to prevent the family from bringing their son home to pass away peacefully with family there.

This is what single payer does.

I have some mixed feelings about the parents. But not allowing them to bring Charlie home to die amongst loved ones is beyond cruel. A sick system.

"What if it were your child?"

Yet on the evidence it appears it is more the Judge's child than hers; for she is not the one the government put in charge of the matter, and it seems the people belong to the government and the government wants to make it very clear in this example. This is the bargain a people strike when they put the government in charge of caring for their basic needs.

Fiona Paterson, a lawyer representing GOSH said the situation could not carry on and said “this cannot drag on into another day”. LibSpeak translation: "The hospital administrators already have the powers of life and death, so you must NOT be allowed to win."

Sorry for this response, but I can only hope this very judge - and obama both have the fortune of this exact life experience.

Single payer (government) insurance means that the payer (gevenment) gets to make the decisions....BAD IDEA DEMOCRATS.

"What if it were your child?"

Judge: You're the mother of the child. The state own the child. I will say what is best for the states children.

WHEN, not if, a ‘ruling elite’ cleansing revolution is sparked which will see these tyrants liquidated, it will come from some humble domestic overreach like this case.

Why all the drama and BS? Why didn’t the judge just order an abortion 11 months ago? /s

This is nothing less than the UK’s way of declaring that NHS is equal to US medicine and re-affirming that UK parents are not in charge of their own children. The idea that the state should intervene on behalf of children when their welfare is being neglected by bad parents has evolved to the state having the final say on matters involving children with good parents as well. I thought the UK was a Constitutional Democracy. But it has devolved into a unconstitutional, politically correct nanny state.

What is equally shocking (and more) is the overwhelming opinion of the majority of Brits/UK. I can’t tell if the Daily Mail’s posters portray an accurate reflection of the country as a whole, but these posters passionately support their socialized medicine and doctors AND the gov’t’s right to make these decisions no matter what! This simply amazes me, how they can so wholeheartedly cheer their gov’t’s power over their health and lives. I guess they enjoy their tyranny, being “subjects” of the Queen and all.

GOSH and this judge think they are Gods.

A pox on all of them. Especially since they will not allow
Charlie to die at home.

When the arrogance of lawyers treats human beings as “property of the government”.

We have a massive indoctrinated misunderstanding of truth, when it comes to “what is best to do”.

Too many of us are sheeple who have been politically bred to think by mere appointment to a government position those appointed somehow magically become “the best and brightest authority” to which there cannot be any better opinion. It is intellectual nonsense.

That would be bad enough alone, if not added to that was the state treating human beings as its property. In the current case it’s as if little Charlie Gard is not his parents child at all; just someone owned by the state to do with as it wishes. The case represents an example of how far the intellectual traditions of western civilization have sunk.

Sad for the parents. This is government-controlled healthcare.

Off topic a little, but aren’t the parents MARRIED??? This is so bad if they are not.

This is about people being brainwashed to believe that the people in government are just much more intelligent and compassionate than we mere mortals.
