The parents of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard have walked out of a High Court hearing to decide if he should undergo treatment.
Charlie's father Chris Gard stood up and said: "I thought this was supposed to be independent," as the couple left the courtroom about two hours into today's hearing.
Mr Gard and his partner Connie Yates are arguing they should be allowed to take give experimental treatment to their 11-month-old for a severe degenerative genetic disorder.
Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, where Charlie is being cared for, say that Charlie has already suffered catastrophic brain damage and there is no prospect for any meaningful recovery.
They say further treatment may cause him pain and that life-support keeping Charlie alive should be stopped.

Why don’t they get their baby out of that freaking socialist hospital death-trap and get over here where a hospital is waiting for them?
British people used to be subjects, now they are just property.
That’s what they are trying to do. The Crown says they can’t remove it’s property from the hospital.
So, why did the UK bother with Dunkirk or the Battle of Britain if they were just going to become fascists anyway?

I do not think they are allowed to take him out of hospital. They won’t even let the parents take him home to die. He has to die in hospital.
This socialist regime calls the baby a property of the Crown?
They say further treatment may cause him pain and that life-support keeping Charlie alive should be stopped.
The only way Charlie is going to feel pain is if the treatments actually do some good. Which would be bad, for the doctors.
I pray for them and for the baby.

I don’t know if they use that word, but clearly that’s the meaning behind what they say.

The socialist government owns the child and forbid the parents to give him a chance to live. It’s what Elizabeth Warren and similar want for America.
Judge will not allow it, from what I understand.
Baby Gard should be given the option of the most humane option possible. He can’t eat, can’t speak, can’t hear, and is in pain.
This is a tough ethical situation.
My cousin, after his fatal fall / brain bleed, “lived” for four days. During that time as we prayed for his survival desperately, we learned that he would be unable to speak, walk, feed himself, NONE of his sports, hobbies, activities, wonderful job... all gone. It’s tough.
We can’t take Gd’s place but we also can’t let people suffer lying forever in a sort of coma. I do leave it to Him but there are some tough situations.
Speaking not of the ghastly system in England where they aren’t allowed to try things in another country. That is a different subject, one of a true free people, Or Not.

There...cleared that up....
Because if they try to remove the baby the child will definitely die. As well the authorities will arrest them. The U.K. Is a sad place these days
This should put in high relief the end-game of government-run (”socialized”) medicine and should be a strong motivation for Americans to absolutely get the feds COMPLETELY out of healthcare where they do not constitutionally belong.
Can the Right finally get that the greatest and best healthcare system ever known is that which is run on the Free Market Economy.
You have evidence that this child is in pain? Interesting. Even the docs have testified that they have no proof of that.
