Saving Charlotte Wyatt.

Why is medical science too afraid to take on the challenge that the Wyatt's have presented them? Charlotte Wyatt is to all intents and purposes a living human being and her parents 'little fighter'. Granted the poor girl has considerable difficulties and may endure a naturally short and painful life and has only survived thus far with considerable attention. . . . . Her parents want as much support given to her as is possible and really, shouldn't this be the case?

Maybe it's not so ironic that Charlotte's parents are christian (of one loose affiliation or another). Having their broken daughter fixed to become whole again may be rich in symbolism, say, resurrection or something. I'm not sure and wouldn't want to burden them with another argument. However, it should be the case that every endeavour is made for Charlotte's survival and improvement. And while we're at it maybe we could discuss the value of human life.

Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt may be fighting something of a losing battle both legally and medically but that doesn't mean that they lose. There's a window of opportunity here.
