Is the harrowing case of Charlie Gard just too difficult to discuss ?

What's difficult about it ? It's all over the media.

Not really. Its a sad case and my view is the parents should be allowed to try and save him unless it can be proven that he would suffer by doing so.

It's a discussion forum, as long as the topic is not against the site rules then there is no reason why not. It's up to members to choose whether want to participate in the discussion.

Terrible sad case but if Charlie is suffering then I think he should be allowed to die, at home if that's what the parent's want.

Nothing to do with Trump or the Pope in my opinion.

Watching this morning, Charlie is said to be brain damaged, cannot move, cannot see or hear and cannot swallow he also cannot breathe on this own.   
I know the parents want him to live.  I suppose we would be the same. 
However, I think he needs some quality in his life and he has been kept alive for 11 months now. 
There is no way we can judge we can only wish Charlie's parents make the right decision for them but more importantly for Charlie... :-[

Court case tommorow, Ormond street asking for a review of decision. New evidence suggests he can have a better quality of life than originally thought, thanks to the chemist and other people who study this disease and have all signed a letter stating so. #charliesarmy x If the Pope and the President hadn't stepped in they would have been arranging their sons funeral this week. The power of social media at its best,however, is this what you have to do to stop people in authority from killing your kids??? If it was my child I would fight for every breath they could take. Please God they get their chance, this treatment and a Happy Ending. God Bless  the little man x

But the question is,  is it prolonging his life or prolonging his pain. Poor little baby.
