The fatal flaw in the argument to "save" Charlie Gard is the fact that he is already dead. This baby is being kept alive by machines. I understand what a difficult, heart-wrenching  decision this is for his parents but the sad reality is that there's nothing to save.

What is truly curious about this case, and similar cases, is the adamant refusal of the Christian right to allow nature to take its course. It's ironic that the people who speak so glowingly of Heaven are so determined not to let people go there.
