Please tell me this is a bad dream...

This is disgusting. It's incomprehensible. Why would anyone do this!?

And there are other videos out there confirming this. It's...

No. Just... no.

If anyone can spread the word, pray and send help to the child's parents, who are against his legalized murder, please do so.

Don't need to watch the video. Seeing the words "ten month old sentenced to death" is enough to see how inherently evil this is. And if I see one comment that justifies this, then they must also be evil. Because this is wrong!

First off, a ten month old infant cannot possibly be in the right state of mind to be committing something against anyone intentionally, especially something worthy of death. Babies, as cute as they are, are literally too stupid to think upon such things. So exactly what compelled these monsters to flat out execute him? No. No, no, no, no, no, there is no justice here. No. This is the work of Satan and all that is evil.

According to the description under the video;

Ten-month-old Charlie Gard was sentenced to die by the European Court of Human Rights (EHCR), Tuesday, who ruled against potentially life-saving treatment for him.

The ECHR ordered that Gard’s life support be shut off and blocked him from travel to the U.S. for experimental treatment for which Gard’s parents raised over $1.7 million. Doctors diagnosed the infant boy with a rare mitochondrial disease, according to a report from Daily Mail. The court labeled the Gard’s appeal case “inadmissible” and upheld the previous decision of the U.K. High Court, saying their decision in Gard’s case was “final.”

“Subjecting him to nucleoside therapy is unknown territory — it has never even been tested on mouse models — but it may, or may not, subject the patient to pain, possibly even to mutations,” wrote Justice Francis in the High Court’s judgement. “But if Charlie’s damaged brain function cannot be improved, as all seem to agree, then how can he be any better off than he is now, which is in a condition that his parents believe should not be sustained?”

Francis then concluded that the hospital “may lawfully withdraw all treatment, save for palliative care, to permit Charlie to die with dignity.”

Gard was born with encephalomyopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS), which causes gradual muscle weakening and brain damage. Doctors at Ormond counseled Gard’s parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, to remove Gard’s ventilator in March and said it would be best for Gard to “die with dignity.” Gard’s parents refused on the grounds that they wanted to take Gard to the U.S. for a treatment known as nucleoside, which a doctor from the U.S. said he would be willing to perform.

Pursuant to U.K. law, the hospital appealed to the U.K. High Court, who ruled in favor of the the hospital and blocked travel to the U.S. for Gard and his parents. An appeals court and the London Supreme Court struck down appeals from Gard’s parents, who then turned to the ECHR, but the court did not intervene on their behalf.

Dr. Brian Callister of Nevada, who has spoken out against assisted suicide and euthanasia, said the court’s decision was contemptible.

I hate this. It's basically saying that he's too sick to even bother saving, even though there is an (admittedly experimental) treatment apparently capable of deal with the problem.

Let us not hate people, but turn to grim determination not to let this happen again.

I'm not hating them. Not saying this isn't evil either. Because it is. I believe that if humans are willing to say that murdering a child for an illness is for the sake of giving the child a "proper death" is, without a doubt in my mind, inherently evil. Do I think they're irredeemable in the eyes of God? No. Adam and Eve caused sin to exist in the world and I bet they're up with our Father right now. But there is nothing about this that is okay. It's not just a mistake some politics made, they willingly allowed/are allowing this ten-month-old innocent TO DIE. And I will NOT say otherwise as a means to be merciful; had they read this, me letting them know how heinous they're being is mercy on my part.

This whole thing is just disgusting and vile, and...that poor child... those poor PARENTS. They say the biggest tragedy is when a parent loses their child...I can only imagine how they must feel...

I'm sorry to have made you upset. I saw this and I didn't think it was mainstream news or anything, so I thought it was best to raise awareness of it. And yeah, those poor parents...

The Treatment hasn't been tested. And you want to use the treatment on a baby not even a year old? Im not ok with that, but im not ok with them forcing his death. Thats all ill say.

I will pray for justice to be done mate. And for all the evil that this may contain, I pray that some good may come out of it.
