近日,英国绝症患儿查理•加德引起了包括美国总统特朗普与教皇方济各在内的多方关注。11个月大的查理•加德患有无法治愈的基因疾病,父母希望带他前往美国接受“实验性”治疗。但医院专家认为这只会令他更痛苦,并决定拔掉查理的呼吸机。
Eleven-month-old Charlie Gard has irreversible brain damage and cannot see, hear, move or even cry, doctors say. Yet this terminally ill British baby is at the middle of a global ethical argument over whether he should live or die, an argument that has attracted the attention of Pope Francis and US President Donald Trump.
医生表示,11个月大的查理•加德因患有无法治愈的脑损伤,失去了视力和听力,无法活动,甚至不会哭。这名身患绝症的英国宝宝的生死引发了全球关于伦理问题的争论,并引起了教皇方济各和美国总统特朗普的关注。
医院为何主张结束他的生命?
Charlie has an extremely rare degenerative condition called mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. His doctors in Britain want to take him off life support, arguing that he has no hope of surviving without assistance and that he should be allowed to die in dignity. But Charlie's parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, want the hospital to release their baby into their custody so they can take him to the United States for an experimental treatment.
