RIP Little Charlie Gard

[In58men]

Not sure if anyone has been following this story, but today the UK made the decision to take him off life support. The wife and I were very active in following and donating as much as we could. Sadly, his precious life came to an end today. RIP little guy.

But of course the state did not want that, now did it?

"The judge noted that the American doctor (later identified as Michio Hirano after he waived his right to anonymity) proposing the nucleoside treatment said that it was "very unlikely that he will improve" with the proposed experimental therapy and said that the nucleoside therapy was unlikely to be able to reverse the brain damage that had occurred.[3] GOSH had invited Hirano to examine the child in January but he had not come to London to examine the child before he testified by telephone in April; Hirano also did not disclose at this time, but did at a later hearing, that he had financial interests in the treatment.[8]"

If there is anything this has taught us, it's this:

-donate money, even $5, to these organizations like St. Jude.
-don't ever vote for a candidate selling government healthcare

Socialized medicine is a joke. We have the ability to allow our free market system to work for everyone, including foreigners, but the Feds are destroying our medical community in order to force our citizens to be a number in a line, instead of a human being.

Take this shit to the DC where it belongs and take your ass to the mange where you and the rest of the Donkey scum belong.

Thanks for proving my point. Had Gard been able to receive the treatment in January, even though the chances of it working was low, it was still better than doing nothing. Who cares if the doctor had a financial interest? If you never try something then you will never know if it will work. This is where the word "experimental" comes into play.
