The rights of a child supersede parental rights in medical care. Now you ask: Who is the best spoke person for the child when the child is unable to voice his opinion? Does the States have the right to make decisions for the child\/patient? Do you think the doctors are better judges as compared to the parents? What do you think?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>As A Mom Who Value Parental Opinions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I am super nervous about how our world is moving on without some reconsideration about parental rights issue. If you believe a child&#8217;s right to die in comfort supersede the rights to life, you may be right on that.

I care for my son 24 hours, when he is happy, sad and sick. He would not sleep alone without me. Every night, I would make sure he is sound asleep before I\u00a0leave his room. A tired mom who sometimes long for a few hours to myself, but for David&#8217;s sake, gives up entertaining on that idea. For one good reason, I love my son. I would do anything to protect him and keep him safe.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Parental Opinions Are At Risk, What Do We Do About That?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Being a mom, I understand Chris Gard and Connie Yates&#8217;s stand for Charlie. Knowing my child, I would do anything to give him a chance to stay alive even if the chance is slim and weak. &#8216;<strong>A small hope is better than no hope<\/strong>&#8216;, that was my thought on Charlie. What makes Chris and Connie&#8217;s parental opinions less valid as compared to the doctors? Did Charlie&#8217;s parent not care about him when they decide to fight the court to save their son? In Charlie&#8217;s case, who is more merciful?
