Matt Walsh: Courts in Europe have sentenced a baby to death. This is socialized medicine.

I would not say "always" but definitely in this case. I have a living will that will get me out if here as quick as legally possible.

 

"Could there be exceptions?? Of course, but once you deny parents control of their kids, you are getting into a messy area that big govt folks love."

 

Right, so now we accept that there are exceptions, one of these is where the best interests of the child trump the interests of the parents. This has been adjudged - consistently, both by the courts in England and Wales and also by the ECHR - to be the case here. The medical evidence supports this judgement.

 

Oh come on! There is no 'death panel' here and the term 'socialized medicine' - what does that even mean? And the EU has nothing to do with the case. The Pope has not made any offer to treat Charlie - there is no effective treatment anyway. Please can we stick to the facts, folks?

 

You are dealing with the alt-right media fear generation machine in full effect here.

 

Well, 'socialized medicine' has now applied to 'big government' (actually the High Court but let's not confuse ourselves with facts here) for a review of the decisions taken thus far based on potential new medical evidence:

Baby Charlie: Doctors consider fresh evidence

 

What about executions then? Maybe not so black and white there.

 

Here's the thing about this thead. It has nothing to do with any sympathy for this child. It's just part of Mitch's never ending partisan point keeping. A chance rommanipilate emotions on healthcare. Transparent and obvious. This kid is dead and isn't going to survive. Unless we decide to just keep everybody dying in a hospital on life support for the rest of eternity which we obviously don't. Parents desperation is surely understandable but the insane politicical interference over practical medical advice isn't helpful.

Folks this condition has been around for a long time and I don't recall seeing any of your comments about people choosing life over death on those. This popped up on Breitbart so here we are. Global crisis all of a sudden.

 

Pretty angry post, right there. Pretty unbelievable you would write this off.

Thanx to that article, $2 million and counting, donated to this little boy's cause.

 

The UK Supreme Court is hardly a 'panel of government employees' , Lol! Still less the ECHR judges who, contrary to what you said in your earlier post, are nothing to do with the EU.

Do try to keep up with the facts...

 

You're fishing dude. The whole angry poster thing is a tried and true tactic around here though usually not something you would.

People throw money at things like that all the time. The media and our beloved President have both thrown their own opinions (without any working knowledge of what this condition is) and here we are. Imagine if that money could be utilized for someone with an actual solveable condition.

I'm not writing anything or anyone off. Unless we are prepared to start equating "pulling the plug" with abortion or murder then I'm not buying the outrage here especially regarding a practice that has been in place place long before the political circus decided to come to town.
