OT: Charlie Gard

What a shame that the parents spoiled the dignity of their final statement with an implication that their son could have been a normal boy if only the hospital had acted sooner. This is simply not true and only encourages the base trolls who know nothing to once more attack the medical professionals who have done nothing wrong.

I think it is just anger/grief and the need to lash out Sid.
Tragic situation who I am sure anyone with half an ounce of decency, would never want themselves in.

As a comparison( no where near as awful), I can understand the comment made. The medical profession failed myself, by failing to diagnose for 2 years.
It could have cost me my life as well. 5 operations, of absolute misery spared me that.
So I get the point they are probably trying to make, the NHS is not the all giving wonder society, that is projected.
It does, make the wrong decisions.

Thank you, doctor - just itching for the 'I told you so'.
I don't mind saying I find it despicable that your opening post mentions a 'cost to the state' in keeping a baby boy alive.
Still, I suppose this frees up some extra cash for dozy bints desperate for a 'thigh gap' to have their genitals trimmed.

My mention of 'cost to the state' was simply a statement of fact to which I attached no negative spin. Keeping him alive thus far has cost the state a lot of money. Fact. I may consider it money well spent. I certainly would if he was my child.
Your comparison with possible surgery for women is vile and of your own choosing. You must be a Mail reader. If not, may I recommend it to you?

The Mail is very good, oh...how much is the Guardian losing each month....
