The issue here is the State is calling the shots. The parents know how sick their baby is and that he cannot be “cured” - maybe symptoms can be relieved in this experimental treatment - who knows? You and I sure don’t. They raised more than a million pounds to help pay for Charlie’s care. The questions you ask can all be answered, but should not be used as delaying obstruction.
At the very least, Charlie’s parents asked to take their child home to die. Is there no home hospice care in England?
This child is being Terri Schiavo’d and that is wrong and evil. Every child in a NICU could end up with this test case sending them down the chute as well. All about the $$$$$$ even when it isn’t.
The cost of this care will be 150,000 in the first five days. How long do you think the money will last?
Yes, the baby should be allowed to go home and die. And no, this is not a Schiavo case as Schiavodid not require extraordinary care to keep her alive.This baby needs all organs stabilized. I have read also kidney and liver issues.
This also happens in NICU. Age cutoff when ICU care is not offered to premature babies happens all the time. You just don’t hear about it.
