US president and Vatican talking about boy and I didn't even know about it ! ! !
I wanted to see Charlie Gard doing some burpees, breaking the world record at 851 per hour:
Put his name into Google...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Gard_case
In June, immediately after the High Court had ruled that artificial life support should be withdrawn, the parents said that they wanted to take their son home to die or to bring him to a hospice, and that GOSH had denied this; the hospital would not comment due to Charlie's confidentiality. It was announced that his life support would be withdrawn on 30 June.
Three days earlier, the appeal process finished when the European Court of Human Rights declined to hear the case and shortly after offers of assistance and expressions of support were made by U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
The Vatican issued a statement on 2 July affirming that "we should never act with the deliberate intention to end a human life" but that "we must also accept the limits of medicine".

The medical team and the child's parents disagreed about whether to maintain Evans' life support or to withdraw it, resulting in a legal battle. Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust sought a declaration that continued ventilatory support was "unkind and inhumane", and not in Evans' best interests. Alfie's parents, Kate James and Thomas Evans, contested the application.
These two cases are similar.
Isn't there a procedure for that?
So much emotion...
What you were expecting? Parents to allow their children to die? MEH...
