A High Court judge has ruled that doctors can lawfully stop providing life support to brain-damaged schoolboy Archie Battersbee after reviewing evidence at a hearing.
Doctors treating the youngster, 12, who was declared brain dead after collapsing at his home, say that continued treatment is not in his best interests and should come to an end.
Devastated parents Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, both in court on July 15 with other members of the family, have fought the medical advice from Barts Health NHS Trust, stating that their son would want to fight to the end, The Mirror reports.
