Tomorrow the Court of Appeal will hear fresh evidence suggesting that pioneering treatment for Charlie Gard, an 11 month old baby with a rare genetic condition, could improve his quality of life.
Charlie’s parents hope to convince the court that his life support should not be switched off and that he should be allowed to have treatment, however they are distraught at being given only 48 hours to gather the evidence.
They have until 2pm today.
The hearing tomorrow will determine whether Charlie’s life support will be turned off, or whether he will be able to have the treatment his parents have been campaigning for.
As the relationship between Charlie’s parents and Great Ormond Street has almost deteriorated completely, other hospitals have allegedly been approached to take Charlie, but anxieties over the current legal battle have left Charlie without any options.
We’ll keep you posted.

im watching this like a Hawk.
lets hope the evidence from the 7 experts can save his life. even if only as far as the new treatment will take him.
it is very frightening how easy the courts believe what so-called professionals tell them.
the fact is that GOSH will not want these 7 experts winning this case as it will make them look so guilty of NOT doing everything possible to save Charlie as they have stated.
the Judge is also going to be in a similar situation. Ridicule can lurk in the shadow of any professional as nobody is perfect. Mistakes are made all the time.

The State should never prevent any parents from seeking treatment abroad for their sick children;.Even more important the State should never seek to kill a child while a doctor asks to be given the chance to save that child;.Killing Charlie Gard would be murder pure and simple !
