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

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.......

Not our problem. Let Europe care for their own citizens.

The poor kid is terminal regardless of treatment. Spending the money--hopefully only theirs--will not save him. Besides, I bet it was also involve US taxpayer money, directly or indirectly. That is our problem. No, let Europe take care of this, we already have enough on our hands with our own citizens.

And, again, not to be cold, but the kid is going to die with or without the experimental treatment. There is no anticipated chance of success. As a parent, I appreciate their pain and concern, but it is now our problem, we cannot fix the ills of the world. If we could, we'd erradicate Islam.

Yup,saw that.The bottom line is that the Europeans don't want to risk seeing a sick European kid being cured by our our despicable,Third World health care system.

It will only be a few years until this kind of abomination is happening here, Europe merely has a head-start. Constitutional rights mean nothing when their final interpretation rests with unelected lawyers.

The post Christian era in Europe has turned into the any abomination is acceptable. If the government decides a baby dies, that baby dies. The parents have no say whatsoever. Not even to take the baby out of the country for possible help at no expense whatsoever to the government. Just stunning and just evil.

Perhaps you are blind to what this is about. It seems the case.

You expressed the though better than I could.
This will be one of those times when there really are no winners, only losers. Sometimes, that is simply the fate of the circumstance, unchangeable by any person on earth.

I have read that the physicians in America said they could not help this baby, either. If they shipped this baby over, the cost of care would exceed the amount of money they raised after a couple of years, and the cost would be placed on the US taxpayer.

That would be great. I hope he does that. I can’t even imagine how distraught the parents must be. How desperate.

2nd amendment invoked in that case would make the point better

Hitchens’ quote made me think. IOW, he thinks after the radical muslims have destroyed most of western europe or left them stagnant, and no longer growing, it will take Red China to come in, wipe out the radical muslims, and install order.
Hmmm.

Thanks——I find that very strange.

I cannot imagine what those parents are going through but this entire thing with the mystery “doctor” puzzles me.

An extraordinary amount of money was donated but the donors don’t know who is doing the experimental treatment.?

A tragic situation.

Something else I don’t understand: If the family had/has private money, why don’t they just take their child and go to the US? How can the UK stop them?

After this case I’d believe anything.
