FULL TITLE: Parents of sick baby Charlie Gard 'concerned' lawyer representing terminally-ill son is head of euthanasia charity
The parents of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard are concerned the lawyer appointed to represent their child heads a euthanasia charity, reports claim.
Victoria Butler-Cole, who speaks on Charlie's behalf in court, is chairman of Compassion in Dying, a sister organisation to Dignity in Dying.
The organisation campaigns for change in the law to make assisted dying legal in the UK.
Dignity in Dying used to be called the Voluntary Euthanasia Society.
The two charities share the same chief executive and media team and trustees .
Trustees, like Mrs Butler-Cole can only sit on one charity if they support the aims of the other.

There are still those who claim the goal of the NHS is something other than Charlie’s death. Every shred of evidence is against that view. The NHS in general and GOSH in particular have wanted this baby to die from the day of his diagnosis.
I hope the American dr’s visit hasn’t come too late.
When Trump refers to a rigged system, this is exactly what he means.
I don’t see what all the fuss is about? Our best legal minds say it’s just a tax.
Bol! It was certainly designated as a tax, but not by anything close to our best legal minds. How about, ‘our most effete legal minds,’? Seems closer to the truth.
No conflict of interest there! /s
And the state’s interest is to control cost. But there is value to society to pursue experimental treatments if the patient is willing. The downside is obvious fir the patient but the upside is for all if an advancement in treatment is made.

Whoa, no!
The British government is doing a wonderful job of trying to run out the clock while the US government sits on its butt apparently doing nothing to get that child to America. There will be many bloody hands if this child dies without coming to our shores.
The Nazis had a similar society. At least these death mongers include "dignity".
Is this some sort of sick joke?
Socialists lie/use propaganda. England has 42,000 hospital deaths annually (that they will admit to) from dehydration alone. There is no dignity in dying of thirst.
Ours is not the only majorly corrupt government. It’s worldwide.
I’m beginning to think that all government is automatically corrupted by its very nature of wielding power over citizens.
That is a major reason why I object to big government. We need to keep government small enough that it is harmless, so that it will not attract these pro-euthanasia drones, pro-socialism thugs, and pro-Hillary/Obama/Pelosi minions. By making government so small that it repels those who desire pure evil, we make the country safer for the innocent - and for everyone other than predators.
It will be so interesting to see what the first brain scan shows.

A “charity” for “assisted” dying. What choice words.
And then they use the term “a charity for euthanasia”.
But “charity” in this case means “lobby”, and even “euthanasia” is a euphemism (”good death”).
How about “promoters of killing the sick”?
Well, hi-ho. When the State is in charge of your baby or your body... you’ll have that.
