Charlie Gard parents lose European court appeal (Death sentence again)
BBC News ^ | 6/27/2017 | BBC

Posted on 06/27/2017 11:05:14 AM PDT by Nextrush

Judges at the European Court of Human Rights have rejected a plea from the parents of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard....

Chris Gard and Connie Yates lost their final legal bid to take their son to the US for treatment.......

His parents had previously seen a Supreme Court challenge to continue Charlie's life support fail.

European court judges have now concluded it was most likely Charlie was 'being exposed to continued pain, suffering and distress" and undergoing experimental treatment with "no prospects of success--would offer no benefit."

They said the application presented by the parents was "inadmissible" and said the court's decision was "final".

The court "also considered that it was appropriate to life the interim measure" which had required doctors to continue providing life support treatment to Charlie.

BBC health correspondent Fergus Walsh said it is likely Charlie's life support machine will be turned off within a few days following discussions between the hospital and his family.......

The parents raised more than a million dollars to bring this infant to the USA for treatment but the UK authorities want to remove him from life support and the UK Supreme Court and European Court have both ruled for death.

The hospital is expected to carry out the death sentence within days.......

I put some big names in the keywords because I want the big names in on this case.

Glenn Beck wonders on Facebook what he can do for us out here.

Get involved in stuff Glenn instead of walking away from it like you did during the Oregon Standoff last year. Too busy being into politics and hating Trump, supporting Ted Cruz.

President Trump should get involved in getting this child to the USA for treatment. It would be a good thing to do.

President Trump is not getting involved in this case. Nor should he.

There are death vans driving around Sweden killing healthy elderly people. Should he get involved in that?

It’s a European affair and western europe is all but lost.

No constitution, no rights. The state will murder this child and not blink an eye. Why do they care if he is brought here for treatment???? I wish I had the resources to get him here because I sure would.

Are you involved at all in the fight against physically healthy mentally ill folks getting terminated in Sweden?

Or are you just good for cool quote? :)

They won’t execute Islamist thugs or serial murderers, but these spawn of Satan will execute little kids.
Why not, its just one step farther from abortions.

I hope these scum enjoy their new Muslim overlords. They DESERVE them.

The EU is run by mental and moral defectives.

I wouldn’t mind a tweet along these lines: Isn’t it interesting that in some “free” countries you can’t take your child out of the country, even if you want to.”

George W. “Aw, gee, Biff” McFly Bush and Jeb! should be thrilled to replay their 2005 statements that there’s nothing they can do.

Although the Cowards Bush COULD have acted for Terri.

Regardless, decent people should be disgusted with government going too far wherever and however they go too far.

Anti-terrorism laws that put ranchers in jail for five year mandatory sentences as “terrorists” for lighting backfires to protect their land in Oregon comes to mind as another example of government gone too far.

The ‘healthcare system’ of this country is on its was to the style used against Charlie Gard in the UK.

Its more profitable for business (Warren Buffett has said healthcare costs are worse than taxes for business) to have the government take over responsibility for health coverage and let the little people pay taxes for their rationed healthcare.

In single payer Canada the corporate taxes are low while people pay income taxes and sales taxes nationally plus soon carbon taxes will kick in along with a national “pot” tax with legalization of ‘weed’.

Peter Hitchens has urged under 30 people to leave the UK.

He mentions Islamic influence in his country some but his favorite comment goes like ‘the next proper history of this country will be written in Chinese’.

That’s something to think about......

Should they come for one of my parents in this country I would be happy to show them the reason why we have a 1st amendment here in the United States.

What is pathetic is that the authorities in Sweden will not go to “no go islamist zones” but they will go tot he nicer parts of the city ( Non-islamic parts ) to kill of the elderly peopel so their welfare stater can support more islamic Rapeugees in the no go zones that they will not even go to....

dp, I agree with your thinking.
BTW, I’m familiar with Netherland and Belgium approving euthanasia for healthy adults.
I wasn’t aware Sweden’s done that as well (unless you refer to their decision to inflict death-by-refugee on their populace.
Is there a news source you can cite re: Sweden?
Thanks

Babies are special. I have twin grandsons who are just a year old. You are a very cold person with your attitude and apparently like for government to decide who lives and dies. I hope I never get that way.

No where in this article,or one I read earlier,does it name who,in the USA,was going to treat this child.

We don’t know whether it’s a top medical center or a shyster.

Strange.

Saddest story ever,

A bit of thought—but I think it basically boils down to it being very hard to be reasonably objective when you are either part of the culture that is in denial and in its death thros, or part of another culture that is in denial about the same thing.

China is detatched enough for objectivity, and has an intellectual culture that is likely to endure for another century or two.
