Despite the Trumpies, Charlie Gard Gets Justice
Parents of UK baby Charlie Gard agree to let him die
I almost want to say “thank God!” This little baby has been brain dead for some time. The doctors, the pope and the UK courts all said that the time Charlies Grd’s incurable illness had left the baby with no ability to use any muscle, eventually meaning the baby lost what it needed to keep its brain alive. A US group working on a possible therapy for the disease had some data in mice but none in humans. Even if it worked,a dubious prospect, Charlie was not for gone to become anything but a blind, deaf, immobile brain kept alive creature supported by tubes and a respirator.
While I respect the parents and their trauma, the idea of using even more aggressive means to keep Charlie alive frightens me. The worst possibility is that somewhere Charlie is still conscious, going through the hell of being endlessly blind and immobile, a hell made worse by being an infant. So than God, Charlie is better off.
