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.

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....

Whilst a desperately sad situation this is really becoming too much of a circus and seems to be more about a battle of wills of what the parents want rather than what is best for a doomed little child.

Spend a little less time and energy in the courts and a little more time with the kid is my advice. Don't go looking for someone to blame - sh!t happens, it's nature.

Now the parents are fighting to take him home to die, and so it goes on.
