Archie Battersbee to die in hospital after High Court rejects hospice move

The family of Archie Battersbee have lost their High Court appeal, to move their son to a hospice.

Hollie Dance and Paul Batersbee have insisted that they should have the choice as to where their 12-year-old boy takes his last moments, but the courts have ruled out a transfer to a hospice.

Archie has been at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel since April, when he was found unconscious by his mother. He is currently being kept alive through a combination of medical interventions including ventilation and drug treatments.
