Cry for Charlie

EVERYBODY wants to do their best for terminally ill Charlie Gard in a case that would test the wisdom of Solomon.

We have sympathy for his distressed parents, Chris and Connie, who are desperate to take their son to the US for experimental treatment.

And sympathy, too, for Great Ormond Street Hospital doctors who believe the untested treatment would add to his pain, and believe Charlie should be allowed to die with dignity,

Never forget that caught in this clash over the rights of parents and doctors representing the public good is a very sick baby. If we cry for anybody, we should cry for Charlie.
