A High Court judge has described the ongoing treatment of 'futile'
Indi Gregory's family say they will be appealing a High Court ruling to allow critical care to be withdrawn from the seven-month old. Mr Justice Peel described the ongoing invasive treatment of Indi, who suffers from a rare mitochondrial disease, as "futile."
"It feels like the trust has been given the permission they were after to legally proceed with a death sentence for Indi. Is this in the best interests of Indi or the trust?"That picture was so misleading that, after hearing their evidence in court, the media reported that Indi had to be resuscitated nine times in one day. This is completely untrue.
"Indi can definitely experience happiness. She cries like a normal baby. We know she is disabled, but you don't just let disabled people die. We just want to give her a chance. I and we as a family are prepared to do whatever it takes to fight for the life of our beautiful daughter, Indi." "In my judgment, having weighed up all the competing considerations, her best interests are served by permitting the trust to withdraw invasive treatment in accordance with the care plan presented." The ruling means that Indi will be taken off life support within a week, with a bag mask then being provided for up to a week afterwards.
