PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 24, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ — The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network stands in solidarity with Chris Gard and Connie Yates as they conclude their heroic pursuit of treatment for little Charlie Gard, their son. After fighting London physicians, as well as the British legal system, for months, Chris and Connie have learned from recent medical tests that “the window of opportunity to help” Charlie has closed, as the Associated Press reports. Grant Armstrong, attorney for Chris and Connie, stated, “It’s too late for Charlie. The damage has been done.”
In the Royal Court of Justice in London, Connie stated, “Charlie was left to lie [in Great Ormond Street Hospital] and deteriorate. We wanted Charlie to have the chance … [there] was never false hope, as confirmed by many experts. Now we’ll never know…” Connie and Chris underscored that they “should have been trusted as parents.” CONTINUE
