Trump Wades Into EU ‘Death Panel’ Case, Tweets Support To Save Baby Charlie Gard

Last week, a European Court ruled that the parents of a critically ill child cannot privately pay for treatment in the United States. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) denied the request after the distraught parents lost a battle at UK’s Supreme Court.

Baby Charlie has a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial depletion syndrome and has serious brain damage, and had degenerated to the point where doctors sought a declaration from the court to withdraw artificial ventilation to allow Charlie to “die with dignity.”

The parents, Chris Gard, 32 and Connie Yates, 31, raised over £ 1.3 million to bring Charlie to the United States for an experimental treatment – which the ECHR denied.

Backlash

After the story made headlines around the world, Pope Francis reversed a statement issued by the Vatican’s newly appointed head of the Academy for Life. Papal Spokesman Greg Burke said of the Pope: “He prays for them, wishing that their desire to accompany and care for their own child to the end will be respected.”

President Trump weighed in over Twitter, tweeting: “If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so.”

At the end of the day, who the fuck is the ECHR or any organization to tell the parents of a child that they can’t use their own resources on an experimental treatment?

    To your question “..who the fuck is the ECHR or any organization to tell the parents of a child that they can’t use their own resources on an experimental treatment?”, the answer is that a child is the property of the State and parents are no more than babysitters responsible for the child’s welfare. The corporation known as USA is in bankruptcy proceedings and all individuals, via their SSN/birth certificate are the seized collateral for the debt in default.

    This is why Socialism always fails.

    The Nanny State says they know best and unfortunately you cannot save the live of your own child with your own money.

    On this 4th of July, I especially enjoy telling these Socialists to kiss my ass!

    Oh great, it’s bad enough that he insults politicians like low energy Bush, crooked Hillary and Lyin’ Ted and Cryin’ Chuck

    Now he’s calling the baby little just like “Little marco”?! What’s next, he’s going to use the word darling in regard to his wife?
