British Parents Give Up Fight to Move Baby Charlie
英國父母放棄移動查理寶寶
A British couple has given up a controversial fight to take their terminally ill baby to the US for experimental treatment. Charlie Gard, an eleven-month-old, has a rare disease that makes it impossible for him to breathe on his own. Doctors in London were opposed to the idea of transferring Charlie to New York and felt that he could experience unnecessary suffering. The European Human Rights Court recently ruled that Charlie’s doctors had a right to remove him from life support. The American neurologist who had offered to treat Charlie changed his mind this week after seeing a more recent MRI. Charlie will now be moved to a nearby hospice to spend the remainder of his life.
一對英國夫婦放棄了將他們晚期患病的嬰兒移至美國接受實驗治療的備受爭議的打算。11個月大的查理·加德患有一種罕見的疾病，基本無法自主呼吸。倫敦的醫生反對將查理移至紐約，認為他可能遭受不必要的痛苦。歐洲人權法院最近宣判查理的醫生有權為其解除生命補給。一名美國神經學家曾答應為查理治療，但在本周看了近期的核磁共振成像以后，他改變了主意。現在，查理將被移至附近的救濟院安度余生。
