The parents of a brain-damaged baby who tried to breathe after being diagnosed as dead have lost the latest stage of a life-support treatment fight.
A High Court judge ruled today that ending life-support treatment was lawful and in the five-month-old boy’s best interests.
Mr Justice Poole, who had reconsidered evidence at the latest in a series of hearings in the Family Division of the High Court in London, concluded that treatment was “futile”.
