We received the information about Charlotte Wyatt by email today, and we've been asked as a group to help get the message out about her plight. All BlogsForTerri Blogs are encouraged to look into this matter and help get Charlotte the attention MSM attention she deserves(hopefully the life-kind of media attention).

and info on Charlotte:

Charlotte Wyatt--a short biography Charlotte Paige Wyatt was born prematurely at St. Mary's hospital on the 21st of October 2003. She weighed 458 grams (about a pound) and was barely five inches long. Three times in her short life she had to be re-ventilated--the last time being July.

After that the hospital said that because she was born prematurely (at 26 weeks), and because she was only the size of a 19 week old baby, she had no chance to pull through. They decided that if her lungs would collapse due to an infection, they would not re-ventilate her, but stand by and watch her die.

Her parents brought it to court, but in a September ruling, the Judge agreed with the doctors, who testified that her quality of life was "terrible", that she could not see or hear, and that she was just living in a glass box, in constant pain, with oxygen being shot at her all the time. Her parents did not give up though, they continued to fight on. . .

In mid March they went back to the judge with new information, information to prove that she had improved, unlike what the doctors thought, and that she would react to sound, and light.--that she could see and hear. The doctors even admitted that she had improved a great deal--but they still thought that it was not enough. They testified that although now she could hear and see, her brain had stopped growing. The judge did not rescind his order allowing Charlotte to die, but he did tell her parents to collect lots of evidence. This evidence they were to bring to him at a hearing after Easter, when he would decide if she should be allowed to live or not.

This coming Thursday, on April 21, Mr. Justice Hedley will look at all the evidence her parents have collected to try and prove that her life is worthwhile. He will then make a descision on wether to recind his previous order, letting Charlotte live, or if he will let the doctors allow her to die.

Prayers for this family.

Who do the doctors and the courts think they are to tell these people how to care for their own daughter?!!?

“With the right treatment, Charlotte could live on.”

That's all I need to know. She has already proved the doctors wrong! Let her live.

Black robbed executioners have expanded their specter of death to children that are born and growing who have hope and loving parents who want them.


1973 United States Supreme Court

“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” C. S. Lewis

Data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows that even before this latest court hearing in March, the legal action has cost Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs St Mary’s, about £115,000.

There it is! Euthanize anyone who costs the state money.

This is not the first time terminal diagnosis by doctors has been wrong. How many others have been "allowed" to die?

Prayers for Charlotte and her family.
