'''Charlie Gard''' (August 4th 2016–July 28, 2017) was a 10-month-old [[United Kingdom|British]] boy with a debilitating genetic condition that the [[European Union|European]] courts ruled the child must be taken off of life support, against their parent's wishes. The parents have raised funding to get experimental medical treatment for mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS) in the [[United States]]. The court ruling illegally banned the parents from pursuing an experimental treatment. "[[Doctor]]s even refused to let Charlie’s parents take him home, insisting that he die in the hospital."<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/03/pope-francis-reverses-vatican-judgment-charlie-gard-siding-parents/ Pope Francis Reverses Vatican Judgment on Charlie Gard Case, Siding with Parents, Breitbart, July 3, 2017]</ref> U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] has weighed in on the matter giving support to the parents.<ref>Deacon, Liam (July 3, 2017).

{{Cquote|We are continuing to spend every moment working around the clock to save our dear baby Charlie. We’ve been requesting this specialized treatment since November and never asked the hospital, the courts or anyone for anything except for the permission to go. We have raised over £1.3 million ($1.7 million) and had invitations from specialized doctors in the U.S. and Italy. We hope that the courts and the judge will finally rule in favor of us seeking treatment elsewhere. We love him more than life itself. If he is still fighting then we are still fighting.}}

Government death panels that decide end of life issues are supported by [[liberal]]s. It doesn't make the left look good to discuss what a majority oppose. The major television news channels devoted more air time to the death of a baby whale than to Charlie Gard. <ref>[https://www.infowars.com/major-networks-give-more-air-time-to-baby-whale-than-charlie-gard/ MAJOR NETWORKS GIVE MORE AIR TIME TO BABY WHALE THAN CHARLIE GARD, PrisonPlanet, July 26th, 2017]</ref>
