Yes, if only we had socialized healthcare here in America just like in Great Britain, then maybe we could all experience the same level of care and compassion that is being shown to Baby Charlie right now.

If that is true then the doctors current existence offers no benefit to others as well.

So let Charlie go elsewhere. Why is the NHS refusing to do that...

Because they’re death-loving ghouls.

Another group who think they are God. Do they know what love or comfort the child feels from his parents? Do they know what benefit the US treatment could result in for the baby? Nope they just decide what quality of life is and who should live or die.

The more the NHS says there’s no point, the more they undermine their own case for keeping him there.

One one would do well to note that to my observance, the American medical community is welcoming graduates from the British Health system with opened arms, especially those from India.
The difference between the systems, one that tends to fight for life vs. one that has no regard for life except the producing or future producing life is purposefully being rammed down our throats.
They have no regard for life because they see no dignity of life. Unless they are Christian, the their respective religions value life less. And the lessons of the Unbelievers has replaced the feckless, amoral, agnosticism of Great Britain. Just my opinion.

Hospital is claiming that all stray puppies and kittens should be drown. Also, all cats and dogs ending up in a pound should be EUTHANIZED as soon as possible after the style in NAZI Germany used for Jews.

Hospital is claiming anyone who has been told they MIGHT HAVE A TERMINAL illness should be EUTHANIZED on the spot.

Anyone over 65 needs to EUTHANIZED on their 65th Birthday.

Hospital claims the Nazi's were so EFFICIENT killing Jews that their model should be used for those being EUTHANIZED.

Great Ormond Street Hospital is arguing that it should be allowed to take Charlie Gard off life support because there's "no benefit" to allowing him to stay alive.

Did they or did they not justify the extermination of leftists?

Their board of directors must be a barrel of laughs.

“The hospital, not Charlie’s parents, must be allowed to decide when to remove his life support, the courts have ruled so far.”
At what point were the parents’ rights over their child’s care undermined by the hospital’s desire to maintain their reputation and rating?

Whatever happened to the “If it saves just one life” stance? I guess that only applies to left wing “causes,” like repealing 2A.

The UK government has to see the conflict of interest inherent. The UK government obviously doesn’t give a damn.

Money. They’re afraid he’s going to come back from the US and be re-admitted on their dime. And people believe socialists aren’t first and foremost money-grubbing bastards?

So according to them is it OK to euthanize people who are on welfare, people who are habitual criminals and people whose life aren’t of any worldly worth?

Once the government decided they would provide no further care why wasn’t it left in the hands of the parents who raise their own money to take him to the USA for treatments?

(rhetorical, I know the answer is government death panel decreed it)

“Why is the NHS refusing to do that...”

My understanding of how the system works is, if you go outside the system for health care and they find out, they can deny you all future care. I am not sure what the stated reasons are, if they even address the situation, but the implications are; if you go outside the system you are criticizing it; so, piss on you! (The system, not mewzilla.)

I knew a man from England who is now a citizen. He said, if you believed you had a problem, by the time you got an appointment, and then six months later a test, you could have a fatal situation that might otherwise be treatable. He had, several times, made an appointment here for a relative. They would fly in, get tested, treated, and then return. That way the fact that they had cancer was never known by or reported to the British health system.

Are you personally volunteering to pay for the 7 digit++ expense with virtually no chance of success?
