Charlie Gard has died – in the arms of the Lord

The Rev. Patrick Mahoney of Washington DC, who is well known in pro-life activist circles, commented a couple of days ago that Charlie had been baptized.

Inevitable. And the Judge insisted the baby go into hospice rather than home with his parents.

Charlie Gard, 'beautiful little boy' at heart of dispute, dies

This is from the Daily Mail (UK)

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) said last night 'we have tried absolutely everything' to accommodate the parents' but will not risk an 'unplanned and chaotic end to Charlie's life'. 

His mother Connie has hit back and insisted doctors 'denied us our final wish'.

She said: ‘We just want some peace with our son, no hospital, no lawyers, no courts, no media – just quality time with Charlie away from everything to say goodbye to him in the most loving way.

'Most people won’t ever have to go through what we have been through, we’ve had no control over our son’s life and no control over our son’s death.

'I'm shocked that after all we've been through, they won't allow us this extra time.'

On Wednesday Mr Justice Francis sided with his doctors and said Charlie would be taken to the hospice in a secret location where doctors will stop life-support treatment shortly after he arrives because they say extending his life will only cause him more pain.
