There's new hope for Charlie Gard, the
critically ill British baby championed by President Donald Trump. The
11-month-old now has been welcomed at a leading New York City hospital.
New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia
University Irving Medical Center offered to treat him with an experimental
drug.
Charlie suffers from a rare and fatal genetic
disease, mitochondrial depletion syndrome. European courts ruled that he be
taken off life support pending no effective treatments for his condition, noted
The New York Times.
Chris Gard and Connie Yates had revealed their
intentions to take their son to the U.S to receive experimental therapy, but
this was denied to them.
The case immediately gained global attention and
received the support from President Donald Trump as well as Pope Francis, with
both offering to help the family.
To add my own comment, the denial of medical care by the British Medical Group (read that as government-run medical care similar to what the democrats want here in the U.S.) is a perfect example of bureaucratic adherence to rules with no regard for human need.
