he following is a statement from Terri Schiavo’s brother Bobby Schindler:
“Charlie Gard’s life is more valuable than British and European bureaucrats realize,” explains Bobby Schindler, President of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network.
“The central issue of the Charlie Gard struggle,” continues Bobby Schindler, “is not about rationing, limited resources, or even life support. At issue is whether universal healthcare means that bureaucrats and judges will determine appropriate treatment, or whether parents like Charlie’s with the energy, finances, and physicians to care for their child will be allowed to do so.”
The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network has served more than 2,500 medically vulnerable patients and families. The Network been instrumental in similar parental rights cases, particularly the case of Jahi McMath who is now home with her family, and baby Joseph Maraachli who was ultimately allowed to die peacefully in his sleep from natural causes at home, surrounded by loved ones.

“We don’t need judges posing as anguished moral philosophers, weighing what makes a life worth living. We simply need them to rule on whether mothers and fathers have an inalienable right to care for their own children. Are we better off in a society where government officials are encouraged literally to separate loved ones from each other? Is it better for Charlie Gard to live and die at home with his family, or in a state institution?”
The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network upholds human dignity through service to the medically vulnerable. This mission is expressed by affirming essential qualities of human dignity, which include the right to food and water, the presumption of the will to live, due process rights for those facing denial of care, protection from euthanasia as a form of medicine, and access to rehabilitative care.

When Sarah Palin warned about the death panels inherent in systems of socialized medicine, liberals and the MSM laughed and laughed...
Death squads will change their minds when they’re ordered to end their own lives.
Terri’s list ping

thanks
I met him in clearwater. Standing aka protesting outside terri’s “nursing home”. Then attended the memorial without the body. Tragic story.
Good questions.
I was so upset about Terri Schiavo that I put a sign in my yard that they were killing her. God bless this family. Someone needs to go in and just take this child and load him on a plane to the US for treatment.
Unfortunately, it’s just not that simple. Transporting critically ill ventilated infants across large bodies of water is very difficult to do and requires a lot of equipment and trained personnel as well as special planes and flight instructions for pilots. It can be done but it isn’t easy. My husband at one point in his career did this.
Because fathers, brothers and other male kin do not have the guts to put the fear of GOD in them.
The answer is easy: People are terrified of talking about death. Tell your family and friends how you wish to live if incapacitated.
By avoiding the conversation, you simply force it onto others who do not have your best interests at heart.
The elites of the world have figured out that they can do as they damn well please and we the little people will just grumble . They haven’t yet gotten to where they are going...
Sarah Palin is right...death panels...imperfect kids, old people, disabled...not worth saving...
Exactly
He will die because in countries with Socialized medicine, the government owns the people. He is in the custody of the Great Ormond Street Hospital and they will do with him what they want. The parents have no say.
