rusty - I would have clicked the Like thingie on all your posts.

But there is nothing "to like" in this.

So suffice to say, sadly, that I agree with them.

I don't get it..I don't get people's view on turning off his life support without at least giving him a chance to try new treatment..So ok..God Forbid this should ever happen..Say if your much loved grandchild took a tumble at nursery and you were told they were brain damaged, you should remove your grandbabies life support, just let them go. Then you were told if you nipped over to France there was some pioneering treatment that is proving successful and if your grandbaby could have it there is a 20% chance of it succeeding..They might not come out of it 'complete' maybe deaf,sight loss,but able to function..What would YOU do then..Think for a minute and change Charlie's face for your grandchild s face, change his parents for your son and daughter faces..What now..Are you letting your grandbaby go without a chance or  are you fighting to give them the only chance or letting them die without even trying it..I know what I would be doing #Charliesarmy.Thoughts and prayers with them all..God Bless lil fella x
This isn't meant to anyone in particular but all of us looking at Charlie's case.

Nobody really knows what they'd do if they saw a burning building and there were people trapped inside.

Nobody really knows what they'd do if they saw a person drowning.

Nobody really knows what they'd do if they were in the same situation as the Gards.

We all know what we think we would do.

Let's hope none of us are unfortunate enough to be tested.

Spot on KKOB. No one is in a position to judge Charlie's parents unless they have been there themselves.
Having 4 little grandsons of my own I have, like Bernie suggests thought what I'd do if this was one of them and my gut reaction is that I would fight tooth and nail to keep him and give him every chance of life. However if that would mean him being left severely disabled and with little quality of life, I don't know whether I would feel the same and I pray I never have to decide.

Absolutely on the nail KKOB. I haven't commented in this thread as I don't honestly know how I would react if I was in this impossible position. I just hope and pray that I never will be.
