Baby Charlie Gard dies after life support withdrawn
CNN reporting on real news this time ^ | July 28, 2017 | Debra Goldschmidt and Hilary Clarke, CNN

(CNN)British baby Charlie Gard, who was at the center of a legal battle that captured the world's attention, died Friday, one week before his first birthday, according to a family spokesperson. Charlie was born on August 4, 2016, seemingly healthy. But two months into his short life his parents noticed his health was declining. They took him to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in October where he remained at least until Thursday. He was diagnosed with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, a rare inherited condition that causes muscle weakness and loss of motor skills. Charlie was the 16th person to ever be diagnosed with the disease, according to his parents.

“This is CNN” who did NOT report on the Gosnell trial when babies were murdered after being born. Several women died from Gosnell doing botched abortions but now they report it? NOW?

What CNN Gosnell’s dead babies with slits in the back of the head too damn unpleasant?

Put talking Baby Charlie off life support is so “clean” and “easy” no blood and gore. Just kill the little brat and it’s all good?

Damn you CNN Damn you to hell.

His little soul is in Heaven, now, on an angel’s knee.

That’s the only good part to this sordid tale of an unfeeling medical bureaucracy.

Government Health care may not have killed him, but it certainly removed the parents from the ability to decide their own child’s fate.

BRITAIN’S BUTCHERS.

Do you think if Princess Kate’s child had such a problem the court decision would have been the same?

I can’t help but wonder if the hospice death mongers helped him along.

In the U.K. judges are empowered to murder children that don’t have any utility to the state.

Be assured that God has not failed to take notice. Throw yourself upon His mercy while you still have the chance. If you don’t, judgment day is going to be a little rough.

“F U John McCain. Curl up and die.”

Then sooner this lying, traitorous, primary election stealing POS grifter takes his seat at the traitors’ table with Benedict Arnold and Teddy Kennedy, the better. May the turd’s passing be painful.

Requiescat in pace, Charlie Gard. +

Murdered by the national healthcare system for the convenience of the narrative: that only the State may determine who lives, who dies, and when the murder shall take place.

I don't wonder at all.
They admit in the report to removing life support; he didn't "die" he was murdered.

SBB they unplugged his ventilater. That is how his lugs/body were getting oxygen.

Let me rephrase my question: I wonder how much narcotic they slipped him? You know, just to be sure.

I’m aware. I spent 6 years working in a critical care setting. I can tell you first hand that some people still breathe after withdrawing a ventilator. I’ve seen doctors and nurses give huge doses of narcotic in that scenario for “comfort”. I can tell you some stories, believe me.

“I wonder how much narcotic they slipped him? You know, just to be sure.”

They didn’t have too. There was debating in moving him and the ventilator was the reason. The hospital said they could not move him out of the hospital because the ventilator machine was too big. BS.

We are not stupid, in the age of Star Trek technology they have smaller machines for transport.
