Consider this case:
Infant Charlie Gard was born in Great Britain on August 4, 2016,
with a rare, inherited, and fatal condition called
enecphalomyopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS). A
legal battle ensured among Charlie's parents, the Great Ormond
Street Hospital in London, and the British court system when the
Grades wanted to take their infant to the United States of America
for a noninvasive experimental treatment. The fight was publicized
worldwide a U.S. physician agreed to accept Charlie. Though
Charlie's parents raised money for the treatment the case stalled
so long in the court system that Charlie's condition deteriorated
to the point that his parents gave up their fight. Charlie died on
July 28, 2017 in hospice care.
Arguably, the best interest standard is being used in
this case.
