“Medical staff at the hospital believed he would not improve and it was best for Charlie to “die with dignity.”

No. They are tired of working on a ‘lost cause’ and want to free up hospital space for another government subsidized patient. The court has said “no more government money on this one!”

This is Twilight Zone-ish

***essentially euthanizing an infant against his parents’ wishes.***

My wife’s niece had a similar situation with a different ending.
Her baby girl was born premature, and was on life support. The doctors wanted to pull the plug and the parents refused. They worked at home to keep the baby alive.
FAST FORWARD 25 years.
The child grew strong, got educated, went to New York and appeared in Broadway shows for a while and later worked in a talent agency.
She now teaches theater and sends many of her graduate students to Broadway and Hollywood.

Socialized medicine is not what Free People needs. It is legalized murder...

"This is an exercise in government control-freak-ism"

That is the real story. But, since we have no real journalists, we hear nothing about this.

Instead we hear yet more attacks against preaident Trump for trying to help this child .

Media Headline on Every Outlet:

What a horrible man Trump is for offering assistance to the baby and his parents to at least give the little guy a chance to live.

(Do these idiots ever stop and think about what it is they are pushing onto the public? Or what happens if the would-be Marxist elitist tyrants actually acheive their goals?)
