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

[Revmitchell]

It is murder to intentionally withhold potentially life saving treatment. Period.

 

[Matt Black]

It's been shown in court not to be life-saving (well, no more than artificially ventilating anyone who is brain-dead) whilst it cruelly prolongs suffering. So not murder then.

 

[Revmitchell]

Yep murder, a life was ended and it was not shown to not be life saving. What was shown was it was not absolute. But them when it comes to serious medical issues involving life nothing is a sure thing.

No you can't. In the US they don't get to. It is strictly a decision between the patient (or their family) and the doctor the family bearing the larger burden.Insurance companies can choose not to pay for it but they cannot choose to murder the child as the UK has done.

The English cannot seem to understand that they have lost a freedom when the court decides a child's fate, not the parents. The treatment was proper and would have not cost the English one penny but the court wanted to exercise power over the parents. The parents should defect to the USA.

Treating Charlie successfully was always a long shot, but wish they had started the treatment back in January, where they were all standing around waiting for the Ethics Committee to decide, then Charlie kept having all those seizures that made treatment futile.

This is what socialized medicine is, cold, cost-efficient, bureaucratic and soulless.

Young Master Gard passed away today. So, this thread is now moot and is closed.
