Je Suis Charlie, Once More

Less than one year old and stricken with a rare degenerative disease, Charlie Gard is on life support. He requires artificial ventilation, nutrition, and hydration. His story became international news two weeks ago, when the European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision of a British court to allow doctors to terminate Charlie's life-sustaining treatment, against the wishes of his parents. Donald Trump made a statement. Pope Francis made a statement. Many others made statements. We seem to be at a Je suis Charlie moment of a different sort.
