The family of Archie Battersbee are continuing to fight to keep his life support machine on after they submitted an application to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to postpone the withdrawal of his treatment. The family seemingly lost in their bid to keep Archie alive on Monday, August 1, as a Supreme Court ruled the 12-year-old's life support was to be switched off at 11am today (August 3)
But Archie's mother, Hollie Dance, said she has been told his treatment will not be withdrawn whilst the application is being considered. Speaking to reporters outside the hospital, Ms Dance said: "I'm hoping that they (ECHR) step in and give Archie the right to live. I think he deserves that.
"We will not give up on Archie until the end."
