Baby Charlie, a British infant suffering from an incurable disease, has been ordered to be “humanely” killed by British courts.
This is against the wishes of his parents who are desperate to explore all options to extend his life.
In the words of Bob Barr, “In the healthcare system in a free society, the ability to seek treatment for a seriously ill infant would not even be a question for debate. However, in a government-run healthcare system like that in the UK, resources are rationed, with government bureaucrats serving as all-powerful gatekeepers, whose decisions are backed by black-robed judges whose allegiance is to the system and not to human beings.”
