Chances Of Improvement

[cassa333]

I'm not sure if the 10% chance of improvement is 10% chance of success or 10% improvement in condition.

Either way I don't think a 10% improvement on his present condition is enough to sway me from thinking that the more humane and compassionate course is to allow him to die.

In some cases Life at any cost is not life, it is purgatory.

Put very simply - I agree with you, cassa.

I agree with you cassa, and I’m starting to run out of sympathy for the parents. I just don’t get why they would want this poor little boy to go on with his appalling existence.
Apparently, the ‘treatment’ is non-invasive and can be added to Charlie’s food, so firstly, why do they need to take him to America for that, and secondly, he’s being fed through a tube, so how can it be added?

The 10% estimate relates to the chance. Not to the amount of possible improvement.

Bigbad - I ran out of sympathy a while ago.
