Donald Trump offers help for terminally ill baby Charlie Gard.

Maybe I am Holly.

I just don't trust Trump.

My guess wouldn't say that if it was Obama!

Wow .... so powerful and sad. I am sorry your little man didn't make it and I admire your strength to do the right thing for his sake. Quality of life and dignity in life should be the guiding factors rather than the anguish of the poor loved ones having to suffer the loss.

I think little Charlie's parents should let him go in peace.

I agree. I really hope that I have some understanding of the parents' desperate position and fear of losing Charlie, but he's already on morphine. And his brain damage is irreversible. It's a sad, clumsy comparison, but I would be prosecuted if one of my animals was found to be as hopelessly ill as Charlie, but I was forcing that animal to exist for me.

The Child is the product of his Parents.  No one has the right beyond them, no matter what they think..  They will see to him if they are allowed to do so.
But then they should be allowed to do so.

Parents (fathers really) used to have complete power over their children. That changed in 1889 with an act of Parliament allowing the State to intervene on the child's behalf for the first time. State intervention has increased ever since. That has happened because parents don't always make the right decisions for their children. Although parents still have rights they also have responsibilities. The priority should always be the child, not the parents.

Having said that, I have no idea who's right in this particular case.
