this is not a decision that the doctors on the court take lightly. the kid can't see, hear, speak, or swallow. his lungs do not work on his own. he would have to be on a ventilator and a feeding tube his whole life, as he has up until this point. the kid will not regain consciousness and he will not survive.. these are hard truths. that 1.8 million dollars would be exhausted in less than 2 years.
I hear you. But I also hear what Unsung is saying.
As wise as it might be... the courts should probably not make the decision for the parents. If the parents are made aware of the potential... it's really up to them.
The whole point is that the courts aren't making the decision for the parents, they are making the decision for Charlie. They are trying to protect him from his parents, who want to prolong his suffering.
I'd like to think I would have the strength to do the right thing and let go if I was in their position, but nobody really knows until the time comes.
Exactly!! This is very selfish behavior on the part of the parents. Prolonging anyone's life, whether a child or an adult, because of some misguided belief that they will survive and have a "notmal" life is just plain selfish and mean.
the parents need to accept the reality of their situation. there would be more dignity in it.
if that makes me sound cold, i am sorry. but this is the reality they are in.
We are on the sidelines though.
The parents are not evil here (and I know this is not what you are implying). They are just broken and desperate.
working in medicine, i get it. but at some point they must realize that they are not helping their child. they are tying up resources that could be used to help other people who have a better prognosis.
we look at medical facts and make decisions accordingly. emotions have to be taken out of it.

Unsung, where do you stand when courts intervene to save the life of a child when the parents' beliefs cause them to refuse necessary, life saving treatment, such as JWs who refuse transfusions on religious grounds, or parents who believe "alternative medicine" will cure cancer? You're against court intervention in those cases, too?

yes. based on the findings of these doctors, a cure is 100% out of the realm of possibility. otherwise they would have granted them permission to travel for the experimental treatment. with that treatment, the best case scenario is the kid carries on in the state that he is in. unconscious, unable to breathe on his own, unable to eat and drink on his own, unable to walk, etc. just alive, but not really living.
worst case scenario, the family flies a corpse along with feeding machine and ventilator back to england.

There is a huge amount of research around this. The childhood immunization schedule is based on protecting infants from diseases for which they have little to no other protection and which can be serious or fatal if they contract them.
Infant immune systems are challenged by an uncountable number of compounds on a daily basis and they respond admirably.

Life does not give a guarantee that it is safe. There is risk in everything. There is risk in not vaccinating. There is risk in every food you feed your child, every product you use with or on them, every toy they play with, everything activity you do with them. You take a higher risk every time you drive with them in your car than any time they get vaccinated. We like to think we can control these risks but that's just a human response that keeps us from panicking every moment of the day. We can't. We can just try to balance the risks and make reasoned decisions, not those borne from anxiety and misinformation.

It sucks but people die sometime to no fault of their own. At 90 yrs old and at 2 years old. Really sucks. There has to be some sort of line to use money wisely on health care. I don't want to pay high health insurance premiums because people spend millions to extend their lives another few weeks or months, or on a Hail Mary procedure. Now if people raise private money for a procedure than it seems like they should be able to do it, unless it is just torturing the patient unnecessarily.
He has irreversible brain damage. Even if the experimental treatment was "effective" regarding his mitochonrial disorder, it could not reverse his brain damage, and thus his condition can not improve. And it's not in this article, but I've read elsewhere that the researcher who developed this treatment acknowledges that it is extremely unlikely to work for Charlie as it was not developed for his condition, but rather for a different disorder, and has never been tried in his condition.

The problem that people don't want to face is that when there is a certainty of pain with one action, and of death with another, there must be a cold calculation made to decide which action produces the higher quality of life, and it cannot and should not be emotional. If the degree of certainty of pain is high enough, the degree of uncertainty of a cure is high enough, the quality of life is low enough as that pain endures - then the sad reality is that a painless death provides a higher quality of life (0) than the negative net quality of life the child has today.

I know what Bentley is saying though. at some point you have to wonder, do they want their child to survive and be a vegetable for the child, or for themselves? as a parent, I can't imagine the pain. But at some point, gimme's right, you have to face the reality and let go.

This is very selfish behavior on the part of the parents.
Prolonging anyone's life, whether a child or an adult, because of some misguided belief that they will survive and have a "notmal" life is just plain selfish and mean.
