Charlie Gard: Death threats sent to Great Ormond Street staff

Considering that they aren't giving Charlie's parents the right to seek treatment elsewhere, they are preventing the child from receiving possibly life-saving treatment and therefore, yes, they are threatening to kill him. Look at it from the parents' point of view. They are clear that ending Charlie's life is against their wishes and, since it's their child, I can understand why they would see it as murder if he was killed by the doctors.

Ah another one. Before you start making these idiotic claims, go and read GOSH's most recent statement on the case. It's on their website.

I respect his parents. They have the strength of character to stand up to and question the medical establishment. It is a sharp contrast to the sheeple that refuse to question authority.

f*ck the "experts"! they've only spent 5 years in formal higher education, 2 years in rigorous training, every year since then doing numerous courses (sometimes at their own expense), specialist training and years of experience - sacrificing huge amounts of free time thoughout all of this! they know nothing! we need to question their every move! it's all a conspiracy!

I think rather than it being the norm for most people, there is a group of people who might seem normal to their friends and family but are secretly addicted to "trolling" and jump on any opportunity to send people evil messages and death threats because they think it's funny. It's very very odd.



also i don't think it should be called trolling. that just trivialises it. to me trolling is posting provoking but harmless i.e. "justin bieber is the best musician ever born"... this is another level.

Firstly, the court have said Charlie cannot move. The Doctors do not have a say. That is entire point of the new hearing.

The only reason why he is alive is because of those doctors. The treatment offered is experimental and has never been tested on humans. There is no data supporting it's efficacy. Charlie is brain dead and is being kept alive with a life support machine. Therefore, his life should be ended instead of keeping him alive artificially for another 3 months to please his religious extremist parents.

It does look as if some of these medics from the US are promoting what appear to be entirely untested treatments - perhaps, cynically, they view this baby as a potential testbed and also as a potential advertising medium for their ideas in the unlikely event that they work.

I feel desperately sorry for both the parents and the staff at Great Ormond, who are all very good people stuck in a hard place.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were going after him to use as a clinical trial subject.

The cost to great Ormond street hospital is incalculable. They do a brilliant job for some of the sickest children in the world and they are being treated like kidnappers

I think if that were the case, and the parents saw it as such, it wouldn't be too bad a thing. After all, how else can you hope to treat illnesses that kill the very young apart from try experimental treatments on the very young?

That said, if that is the case then I don't see why the parents (with help from donations) are having to stump up the cash. If you volunteer to test something, at the very least it shouldn't cost you.

Lol I really doubt those two are viewing this as a chance to give other sick children a chance.

True, but it is the only justification I can see for legally letting people experiment with treatments on kids.
