    Matt Walsh: Stop pretending you’re killing Charlie Gard ‘for his own benefit,’ you monsters

    ...and the medical evidence (as opposed to speculation) thus far is that all possible measures other than those which would inflict harm on him have been exhausted.

    Matt Walsh: Stop pretending you’re killing Charlie Gard ‘for his own benefit,’ you monsters

    What David said. The link in the OP is once again sensationalist and, as someone else has said, rather ghoulish as well as being misinformative. Rest assured that should cogent medical evidence be presented to the High Court that contradicts the expert consensus that further treatment will be of...

    Is healthcare a right or a privilege II

    Everyone with whom Rev Mitchell disagrees is 'far left', 'socialist', 'communist' or 'liberal'. They become words devoid of meaning through improper and over-use so I pay them no heed these days.

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    Try telling that to a black man pre- and even post-Civil Rights Act. You really don't get the concept of privilege, do you? Wow, just.. .wow

    Thanks for you 'Christian' response.

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    I will add some more: 7. People are dealt a lousy hand in life from birth and are unable to overcome it because the deck is stacked against them. 8. People are ok until they are struck down by an unforeseen circumstance: a medical condition, an economic recession etc. How do you propose to...

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    "Now you're just lying. It's about what I'd expect from you." If that isn't an ad hominem then the term has no meaning

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    That's nice: accusing a fellow-poster of lying.

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    Uh...no. Your press if they are saying this are misinformed (I'm loathe as a lawyer to accuse anyone of lying): the lawyers to whom you refer are employed by the Great Ormond Street Hospital Foundation Trust, which is the board administering the hospital where Charlie is being treated. The...

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    This Englishman's home is still my castle - but we have never existed in isolation from our fellow-citizens, and that's never been what it has meant. I don't have the right, for example, to turn my home into a bomb making factory. Wrong on both counts. The poor are not under the government's...

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    There is no such thing as an 'English government'. The UK government, based in Whitehall, has said nothing at all about Charlie Gard's medical treatment. The courts of England and Wales have, as has the European Court of Human Rights. They have ruled that he should not be subjected to treatment...

    Is access to health care a basic human right: or a privilege?

    It's a sad state of affairs when people consider possession of assault weapons to be a human right but not universal access to healthcare free at the point of delivery. Even sadder when it's Christians espousing such a viewpoint.

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

    Oh, the old "but it was really about states' rights" line? And which of these 'rights' in particular? Oh yes, the 'right' to be beastly to your fellow human being based purely on the colour of their skin.

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

    So explain exactly how SCOUTS governs . How does it defend the US for example from enemies at home and abroad? How does it spend government money, and on what? Does it declare war? Which Administration officials has it appointed? Etc etc

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

    That's the most hilarious thing I've read all week!! Yep, you've sussed us out: we are run by a socialist government (which calls itself Conservative, has cut welfare benefits for the poor to the bone, given tax cuts to the rich, is busy dismantling our 'socialized medicine' and is now in bed...

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

    Oh dear, someone doesn't know his own Constitution! Strictly speaking, the government is the executive branch only. The other two branches have the power of reviewing or empowering the said government, holding it to account. We established this principle here nearly four centuries ago. In fact...

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

    You do know the difference between 'funded by' and 'works for', don't you? Ok, maybe you don't, judging by what you've put. A simple example then: the police here are 'funded by' my taxes. However, if I break the speed limit they ticket me and thus they do not 'work for me '. Do you see the...

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

    Both court systems are funded by the government but are independent of and on occasions overrule it....why else did some of the US courts rule Trump's travel ban unconstitutional?

    I am not claiming that because I am not qualified to do so and neither are you. The doctors are
