Thank you for a well-written, factual and informative article. The sufferers in this case, Charlie, his parents, and the staff at Gt Ormond Street Hospital have not deserved the media circus they have been subjected to, and especially not the moral outrage displayed by know-it-alls who have little or no knowledge of the facts of the case and its complexities but state their opinions from a basis of emotion and moral outrage.

The combination of ‘baby’ and ‘death’ brings an immediate negative reaction, and that is natural and unavoidable. But it is not acceptable to disregard the facts of the case for reasons of sentiment and point fingers at people who are doing their very best in an impossibly difficult situation.
