The parents raised 1.4 million pounds to take their baby to the U.S. to undergo an experimental treatment which might have cured Charlie. The doctors and the Courts deemed that the treatment was no good and keeping Charlie alive to undergo it would be not 'in his best interests'.
That treatment is the only chance, however slim, Charlie has of survival, why have the doctors and the Courts denied him that chance? If it is unsuccessful and Charlie dies at least all attempts to cure him have been exhausted.
The hospital and the Courts have treated Charlie like we would an animal. It is in the best interest of our dog or cat to die rather than suffer pain so we have them put down. Make no mistake Charlie is being put down by being denied the opportunity of a possibly cure so that he doesn't suffer.
