Two Syrian refugees who wanted their dying daughter to continue receiving life-saving treatment have lost a High Court battle. Experts told Mr Justice Hayden the six-year-old has a rare and incurable neurological condition.
They said she should be moved to a palliative care regime. Her parents, who left Syria eight years ago and claimed political asylum in Britain, disagreed and wanted her to receive "long-term ventilation".
They wanted to care for her at home with a portable ventilator. Today (August 24), the judge ruled against the couple and concluded that life-support treatment should end.
