When the arrogance of lawyers treats human beings as “property of the government”.
We have a massive indoctrinated misunderstanding of truth, when it comes to “what is best to do”.
Too many of us are sheeple who have been politically bred to think by mere appointment to a government position those appointed somehow magically become “the best and brightest authority” to which there cannot be any better opinion. It is intellectual nonsense.
That would be bad enough alone, if not added to that was the state treating human beings as its property. In the current case it’s as if little Charlie Gard is not his parents child at all; just someone owned by the state to do with as it wishes. The case represents an example of how far the intellectual traditions of western civilization have sunk.
I don’t see too much difference between this and slavery.
