Charlie Gard will be allowed to die after his parents today made the heartbreaking decision to let him 'slip away'.
Chris Gard and Connie Yates arrived at the High Court in tears as they ended a campaign to save his life that has touched millions around the world.
They have battled for six months for their beloved 11-month-old son to be flown to the US for pioneering drugs to treat his rare strain of mitochondrial disease.
But they have now decided to let him die clearly believing that Great Ormond Street's refusal to let him travel to a New York hospital had cost him his chance.

SINGLE PAYER CHARLIE GARD
Single Payer Slave
Single Payer death panel

Another story about this, the whole article should be read. The court treating Gard’s parents like dirt.
Charlie Gards Parents End Their Fight to Save His Life, Say Its Too Late for Experimental Treatment
Steven Ertelt Jul 24, 2017
A lawyer representing the couple told Justice Francis that time had run out. The attorney for the family said that irreparable damage had already been done.
Grant Armstrong said: This case is now about time. Sadly time has run out. For Charlie it is too late. The damage has been done.
The decision means that the 11-month-old will stay in Britain and will have his life support removed.
The parents said they would discuss with the judge and other authorities about how the baby will be allowed to die. Armstrong said the news had left Charlies parents extremely distressed and they now wish to spend the maximum amount of time they have left with Charlie.
Charlies parents said through their lawyer in court that they hope that the case can change the way medical decisions are made in the future. It should be proof that if mitochondrial treatment is going to take place then doctors should begin as soon as they can, they said.
The Death Panel wins.
That is what would have happened if Hillary if she had gotten. Thankfully we have Mr. Trump as President.
This is the other half of the story. The poor infant has been fully brain dead for some weeks. He is already gone. Even still, it’s cruel to not allow the parents more say so on their baby’s treatment. The One World attitude is to take away almost all authority from the parents. Some schools operate that way in the States already.
Sad story. But what is scary is that a third party ruled without the consent of the parents.
This is a slipper slope.

Assuming he isn't assassinated (God forbid!!!) and he gets re-elected (God facilitate!) he won't be in office after 12 noon 1/20/2025.
Unlike republicans, the democrats have a long range plan and multiple 1000 page bills sitting in filing cabinets just waiting for an opening.
Or did you really think all 1200 pages of ObamaCare were written overnight?
Hillary! will run again in 2020.
So his country threw up a barricade and prohibited his parents from taking him out of the country for treatment.
Makes you wonder why we fought for decades to have the
Berlin Wall torn down.
President Trump will not only have 4 years in office, he could go for the full 8. Right now are seeing a Democratic Party that lets just say is imploding.
This is so sad. And to think some people actually want socialized medicine in this country.
Nope, she is finished.
Stop being a Debbie Downer.
You are not listening very well.
No matter what, in 9 years he will NOT BE PRESIDENT!
Who will?
Do you really trust the American people to not elect another obama, a hillary, a sanders, if not in 2024 how about 2028 or ever?
One thing I have heard no media source dwell on has been an interview with someone, and I’m sorry I don’t remember the guys name, but he said “If the family could have taken him to a “private hospital” he could have possibly gotten treatment sooner”........ Sooooo what? Are there two classes of people in England? The little people and the rich people who have their own hospital / medical system? So single payer isn’t all peaches & cream and rainbows? Wow, who knew?
Could be Pence even after 8 years.
We need to reassess all of our relations with foreign nations.
Places we once considered reliable and healthy are not. Western Europe, Canada, and the UK are now alien and disease bearing dystopias.
