Charlie Gard was a British infant who garnered global attention in 2017 due to a legal dispute surrounding his medical treatment. He was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder known as encephalopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, resulting from a mutation in the RRM2B gene. This condition led to progressive brain damage and muscle weakness. Charlie’s parents sought the right to take him to the United States for experimental treatment; however, the courts decided against them, arguing that the treatment would not benefit Charlie and would merely extend his suffering.
