No child should ne born British...
If some wealthy and famous Brit ended up in a coma in a NHS hospital, with little hope for being revived, would the same bureaucratic decisions be made? If there were experimental treatments in the US, would the guardians of a wealthy and famous Brit be prevented from removing him or her from the NHS hospital?
The Charlie Gard situation has really lowered my opinion of the Brits, and I don’t think these black hearted bureaucrats have thought this through very thoroughly.
Parents should be the ones who decide the fate of their child.
The Gards have raised money for experimental treatment in the U.S.
for Charlie.
Regardless of the outcome of this treatment, the Gards should be allowed
to try it.
It doesn’t help to call the disease fatal. It hasn’t killed the child. It is potentially fatal, life-threatening disease. Treatment is available although success is not guaranteed. It may even be a long shot. But it isn’t fatal until the child dies.
Meanwhile NHS pays for dickchopping, aids treatment, and euthanasia.
Evil bastards. If they said we aren’t paying for anything else, ok, I get that. But to forbid parents with money from trying something in the USA?
What -exactly- did we accomplish by helping the British in WWII?
Life slowly slips away from that baby while the British government has gone stone cold silent trying to play out the clock. Trump needs to tell PM May in Hamburg, AF 1 will land in London on my way home. Have Charlie and his folks at the airport ready to go. Now do it Madame PM.
Were this baby being cared for in a British private hospital, rather than an NHS hospital, his doctors would have gone to court for exactly the same reasons and with the same outcome.
The determinaton to polticise this sad case is depressing.
