Charlie Gard case: Doctors can withdraw baby's life support - BBC News
Poor little boy, and his parents.
Pray for them all.
Doctors can withdraw life support from a sick baby with a rare genetic
condition against his parents' wishes, a High Court judge has ruled.
Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital said eight-month-old Charlie
Gard has irreversible brain damage and should be moved to palliative care.
His parents Connie Yates and Chris Gard, from London, had wanted to take
him to the US for a treatment trial.
They said they were "devastated" by the decision but intended to appeal.
