like i have professed many times ......i am not an ambassador for the human race .....except when it comes to kids ......
this one was devastating .....charlie gard .....i think he should have been allowed home to his parents .......
i hate to hear people say what about me ....... what about me!!!!!!!!! .........then you see this poor child ......... it never even got a chance .......i wished they would have sent it to America ........
i do not know the circumstances to the whole thing............ but the court should have let him go home to die ......but its too late .........
i only reserve pity for the terminally ill .......and dying........ and seeing babies die ......is absolutely heartbreaking on every level ........
i cannot imagine how they feel .......i do hope they pull through ........ watching a baby die must be the most devastating thing a human being can endure .....
this brings me back to the whole god thing .......why does he let little charlie go .......and Nancy Pelossi live ......... a deranged old witch........ with satanical agenda ........the it boils down to ......evil prevails .......
i do hope many babies are saved by little charlies death ......... and he serves as a beacon to others....... babies ......its always the same ......... something has to die .......... in order for others to benefit .....this is life .......

Our beautiful little boy has gone’: Parents of Charlie Gard say he has died

After months of fighting for Charlie Gard’s life — then pleading for time to bid him goodbye — the terminally ill British infant’s parents said Friday that he had died.
The 11-month-old boy's case had elicited sympathy and support from Pope Francis and President Trump and inflamed an international debate over end-of-life rights.
His parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, announced his death a day after a British court ruled that the infant should be moved to hospice care and removed from a ventilator — as the pair pleaded for a few more days with their son, a spokesman for the family told BBC News, the Guardian and the Associated Press.
“Our beautiful little boy has gone,” Yates said Friday in a statement, according to British news reports. “We are so proud of you Charlie.”
The somber news of Charlie's death reverberated across the world Friday evening.
Francis wrote in a message on social media, “I entrust little Charlie to the Father and pray for his parents and all those who loved him.”

The judge said Charlie should be removed from the ventilator, which “will inevitably result in Charlie’s death within a short period of time thereafter.”
His parents had also lost a fight to let him die at home.
London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, which had been treating Charlie, said it had been “a uniquely painful and distressing process” for everyone.
Charlie, who was born with a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, sustained brain damage that had taken away his ability to see, hear and breathe on his own.
His parents had raised money to take him to the United States for an experimental treatment they had not yet tried, but doctors at Great Ormond Street asserted that the child had no chance of survival. The case trickled through the British court system and ended up in the European Court of Human Rights, which declined to hear it, upholding previous court rulings that it was in Charlie's best interest to let him die.
It was that decision that thrust Charlie's case into the
