Charlie Gard’s parents have ended their legal fight for their critically ill baby to be flown to the US for experimental treatment, saying it was too late for the process to work. In court, Yates spoke of the couple’s efforts to save their son. Members of US pro-life groups who flew over to side with Charlie’s parents could be seen holding hands and praying. His evidence was expected to form the crux of Monday’s hearing before Yates and Gard decided to drop the legal proceedings. Charlie’s parents disagreed with the hospital’s assessment and believed he could have been treated in the months that followed, but “there remains no agreement” on that.
