Of course we only get one side in stories like this as the hospital is bound by confidentiality. The parents give what they perceive to be the ‘facts’ but in situations like this they inevitably hear what they want to hear which is understandable. These disputed cases are very very rare - every year parents and medical staff work together to ease the death of children without court action. I truly despise those who jump on bandwagons like this.In the Charlie Gard case the doctor so full of promises never even examined the boy and there was some talk of his having a financial interest in the experimental ‘treatment’ on offer. Nigel Farage also used the case to illustrate the evils of state power. And of course Trump jumped in - president of a country where children’s lives are so precious that lack of affordable health care results in shockingly high infant mortality rates in poor southern states. I don’t think any of us have got the right to interfere in cases like this and stoke hatred towards the medical staff and hospital concerned. Let the courts now decide and leave them all in peace in this sadness
