Charlie Gard: time runs out

Charlie Gard parents end legal fight as time runs out for 'beautiful' baby

 

Notice that the DELAY in treatment made any success IMPOSSIBLE! The same technique is used to delay Veterans care and help for the so-called undesirables in the hope they will quietly 'pass away' before any expenditures must be made. Oh, I forgot, assisted suicide is now a recommended solution for suffering!

 

Charlie Gard parents end legal fight as time runs out for 'beautiful' baby

The parents of terminally ill baby Charlie Gard have ended their legal challenge to take him to the US for experimental treatment.

A lawyer representing Chris Gard and Connie Yates told the High Court "time had run out" for the baby.

Mr Gard said it meant his "sweet, gorgeous, innocent little boy" will not reach his first birthday on 4 August.

"To let our beautiful little Charlie go" is "the hardest thing we'll ever have to do", his mother said. 

Charlie's parents said they made the decision because a US doctor said it was now too late to give Charlie nucleoside therapy.

"We only wanted to give him a chance of life," Ms Yates told the court in a statement. 

"A whole lot of time has been wasted," she added.
"We are sorry we could not save you."

Charlie Gard's medical case explained

Their lawyer Grant Armstrong said the parents' worst fears had been confirmed.

'Absolute warrior'

He told judge Mr Justice Francis US neurologist Dr Michio Hirano had said he was no longer willing to offer the baby experimental therapy after he saw the results of a new MRI scan last week.

He added Mr Gard and Ms Yates, from Bedfont, west London, now hoped to establish a foundation to ensure Charlie's voice "continues to be heard".
