Parents Of Terminally Ill UK Baby Charlie Gard End Legal Battle
 

LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - The parents of Charlie Gard have ended their legal battle to give the terminally ill British baby further treatment, a lawyer representing the parents said on Monday.

The lawyer told London?s High Court that time had ?run out? for the child.

?For Charlie it is too late. The damage has been done,? Grant Armstrong said.

Charlie has a rare genetic condition causing progressive muscle weakness and brain damage. His parents had sought to send him to the United States to undergo experimental therapy.

Britain?s courts, backed by the European Court of Human Rights, have refused permission, saying it would prolong his suffering without any realistic prospect of helping the 11-month-old child.

The death panel has spoken.

It is truly a tragedy but life is full of tragedy.
They can have another child.

"The death panel" was certainly the parents.

It has raised many questions though and many will be relevant as we move closer towards AI and self aware computers.

Its the age old question we will be asked to question more and more "What is Life?"

That is too esoteric for me. Five hundred years ago babies born with genetic defect were left in the woods to die. Cruel as it may sound -- life went on.

Today, many genetic abnormalities can be healed, treated or cured -- newborn life has that right to survive. However, when there is no reasonable action that can be taken -- there are times of tragedy in life.

I agree 100%

I don't know at what point things turned to be trying to save every single disabled life for as long as possible. If you give birth to a zombie child that can't live without machines, and you want to raise and take care of a zombie child for 80 years, fine YOU do it. If something is brain dead and a living shell kept alive by machines, it shouldn't be alive but for to keep the organs fresh for donation.

I hope they do.

And another, and another.

They are Jewish

Surprised it didn't go in their favor then.

I hope the parents get the help that they need.

Here's an interesting article, on a topic that many of us will face, its about letting a parent go, but its relative to a child as well.

Read it because one day you could very well be in this position if you haven't already.

You hate Jews and you just said you hope a Jewish Woman makes lots of babies I love it! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Karma

I don't hate all Jews. If that woman and her husband are not contributing towards the dispossession of white countries, and the reduction of white birthrates, then I have no reason to hate them. Same goes for Jewish posters on here who aren't anti-white. You seem to think that my "Jew-hate" is entirely irrational and based on nothing of substance, when nothing could be further from the truth. I hate Jews who hate whites, and I don't hate Jews who don't.

So yes, if she's not anti-white then I hope she has as many babies as she wants :thumbsup

Nice to see you've wittled your bigotry down to "Jews who hate whites " a classic xenophobic race bait :1orglaugh

Xenophobia isn't a real thing.

If "xenophobes" were so afraid of foreigners, they wouldn't want to fight them.

^ and "fatphobes" and "transphobes" are obviously cowering in fear :2 cents:

Definition of xenophobia
: fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign

Clearly you fear those "strange Jews" :1orglaugh

Jews have been strangers wherever they've gone, which is why they've been hated down the centuries. Rootlessness doesn't resonate with rooted peoples, and if that produced in them a "fear of the unknown" then I can understand it. Especially if the "unknown" had the intention of exploiting the rooted peoples and then moving on to the next target. It would be like a race of aliens visting Earth to suck up all our resources and then moving on.

So in a way, I do fear those "strange Jews". But those who aren't so strange...not so much.
