A European court has ruled that a terminally ill ten-month-old baby must “die with dignity”, even though the parents are willing and able to finance alternative “experimental” treatments overseas. Socialized healthcare has very real victims indeed.



Death Panels are real, despite the lies coming from the left-wing Democrats.

From Breitbart:

The parents of 10-month-old Charlie Gard are reported to be “utterly distraught” after the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) denied them a final effort to save their dying son. After losing a battle in the UK’s Supreme Court, they had appealed to the court in France to fight the decision of British doctors at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, who argued the baby could not be saved in the U.S. and must “die with dignity”. TRENDING: HERE SHE COMES! Judge Amy Coney Barrett Seen Leaving Her House with Her Seven Kids and Husband! -- Announcement at 5 PM ET Chris Gard, 32, and Connie Yates, 31, had raised more than £1.3 million to take Charlie to the U.S. for partially untested, “experimental” treatment, which they claim could save his life. Charlie was born healthy, but suffers from a rare genetic condition, called mitochondrial depletion syndrome, and has serious brain damage. The ECHR ruled Tuesday that the British hospital was correct and the treatment in the U.S. could not help Charlie. The court said the application by the parents was “inadmissible” and added that their decision was “final”.”

Britain’s socialized healthcare is useless to these desperate parents and only put up barriers to potential healing for Charlie. A market oriented system lends itself to choice, and would have opened doors rather than closing them. Despite the fact that Charlie’s parents worked hard to come up with enough money for “experimental” treatments, the hammer of socialism struck with no regard for human life.

Charlie’s mother had this to say about her son’s future:

“We just CAN’T let our baby die when there is something that might help him! We won’t give up on him because he has a rare disease.”

“He deserves a chance and he deserves a life as much as anyone else. We understand that rare diseases don’t get enough funding for research but why should that be a reason for a child to die?! He’s here now and this could help our baby.”
