After US Neurosurgeon Says He Can Treat Charlie Gard, the Baby's UK Doctors Still Think He Should Die Earlier this week, an American neurosurgeon flew to the U.K. to evaluate terminally ill baby Charlie Gard after a so-called E.U. "High Court" ruled the infant should be allowed to die. Dr. Michio Hirano spent hours with Charlie and determined his experimental therapy could potentially help treat the baby. Charlie suffers from a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial depletion syndrome and has apparently suffered brain damage. Dr. Hirano disagrees with British doctors that Charlie has suffered "irreversible brain damage." 'brain damage' is very vague and 'irreversible brain damage' is under increasing questioning especially in the very young... And every ****wit on the internet, including you, believes that they can second-guess the decisions of doctors who specialise in these rare disorders. Including the one in the USA? To me, it is absolutely incredible - and quite unacceptable - that the NHS can decide that a child is going to die and that that is simply that. The decision - whether via the NHS or the courts, or a combination of both - that his parents are not to be allowed to seek last-chance or emergent experimental treatment for him outside the UK (financed charitable and privately) is a horror story. Was this in anyone's mind when the NHS was set up? |
