Anyone following this intense news story and if so, what's your opinion, thoughts, reactions?

For those of you who don't know, Charlie Gard is 10 months old and here is some info I pulled from The Sun, but I encourage you to research the full story for yourself before commenting... anywho..:

A major fundraising campaign was set up to pay for pioneering treatment in the USA which his parents, Connie and Chris, hoped would save his life.

The infant is in the “terminal stages” of a disease called mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome.

Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital said Charlie should be allowed to die in dignity and applied for permission to have his ventilator switched off. But his parents and supporters have been fighting for him to be given a final chance, and raised £1.3million so he can be sent to America for treatment. 

Charlie’s distraught parents were told by a judge at the High Court on April 11 that his life support machine can be turned off. The court sided with doctors against the couple, ruling that it would be cruel to try and extend Charlie’s life further. Mr Justice Francis said he had made the decision with the “heaviest of hearts” but with “complete conviction” for Charlie’s best interest.

On May 2, the couple took their fight to the Court of Appeal where they begged senior judges not to stop them trying to save their badly brain-damaged son. Connie and Chris hired new lawyers but three Court of Appeal judges upheld the High Court ruling on May 25.

However, the baby was given a last minute reprieve when Britain’s Supreme Court agreed to review the case, hours before his life support machine was due to be switched off.

Charlie’s parents had feared his life would be ended at midnight on May 31, but he remained on life support until the Supreme Court make a decision.

A preliminary hearing was heard on Thursday June 8, before the highest court in the land ruled that Charlie’s life support must be switched off.

The family vowed to fight until the “bitter end” to save Charlie and their lawyers took the case to the European Courts to challenge British laws over parental rights.

However, on June 27 the European Court of Human Rights ruled that they would not intervene in the case – a ruling which means his life-support will come to an end.
