He also hinted that Charlie may not be permanently brain damaged – as argued by doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
But the doctor admitted he couldn’t assess the amount of permanent brain damage Charlie had suffered – and agreed that a specialist child neurologist should make a final evaluation.
What point is there in improving muscle strength in a severely brain damaged child?...
Maybe they can prolong the agony?...
Why are Pub's so adamant when it comes to saving all life at any cost?,... and against basic healthcare for everyone?...
Willing to throw millions at a brain dead baby,... but refuse poor children a flu shot?...
This baby cannot move, breathe, eat, see, hear, or cry...
Parents are not acting on the baby's behalf...
20 years ago, babies born under 1 lb didn't have much chance of survival. Today, there's a pretty good chance.
So, if there's only 1 in 10 chance that round the clock care, umpteen procedures to save a childs (or any person for that matter) life, it's not worth trying?
Where would my kids be today (born 20 yrs ago) if 50 years ago they didn't try and discover the treatments necessary to cure 'hole in the heart birth defect'. This is not Sparta.
