The parents of British
11-month-old terminally ill Charlie Gard on Monday have given up
their legal battle to have their son treated abroad, their
attorney announced.
Earlier in July, UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told
Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano that legal reasons prevented
Britain from allowing the child to be treated at the Vatican's
Bambino Gesu' Hospital in Rome.
The hospital had offered to help Gard's mother Connie Yates
and her husband Chris Gard after Pope Francis said treatment
should be provided "until the end".
