Judge rules Great Ormond Street hospital can withdraw life support for Charlie Gard after doctors say he has brain damage
Doctors can withdraw life-support treatment from a sick baby boy against his parents wishes, a high court judge has ruled.
Specialists at Great Ormond Street hospital (GOSH) in central London had told the court they believed it was time to stop providing life support for eight-month-old Charlie Gard, who has a rare genetic condition.
Doctors treating the infant say he has brain damage and should be moved on to a palliative care regime. His parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, of Bedfont, west London, wanted to take him to a hospital in the US for a treatment trial.
On Tuesday, Mr Justice Francis said: It is with the heaviest of hearts but with complete conviction for Charlies best interests that I find it is in Charlies best interests that I accede to these applications and rule that GOSH may lawfully withdraw all treatment save for palliative care to permit Charlie to die with dignity.
As he spoke, Gard buried his head in his hands and cried no as other family members broke down. Charlies parents are considering mounting an appeal.
The judge praised Charlies parents for their brave and dignified campaign on his behalf and their absolute dedication to their wonderful boy from the day that he was born.

Sickening nanny state MFers. These judges think they are Gods, doctors do too.
Murder!
Ping to 21
Didn't you know that when you take your child in for treatment you effectively surrender all your rights to that child?
Why do you think they have you sign all those papers?
It is allowing the medical community the right to do what THEY think is best.
And once rights are given up they are very hard to get back.
Their child.
Their money.
Even worse than murder is these sadistic satanists claim it is in the best interest of the victim that the victim is murdered. WTF???
I have been in an angry funk all day. I have rarely felt such an internal rage like I do today. We have progressives claiming KILLING a child is for the good of a child. We have progressives complaining Spicer compared Assad to Hitler AFTER we conservatives have been called Hitler for decades. Terry Shiavo died from “euphoric” starvation. Just a depressing week.
“Sickening nanny state MFers. These judges think they are Gods, doctors do too.”
Judgement Day for these vermin won’t be pretty....
Incredulous bump : /
