Indi Gregory's father Dean said afterwards that the family was devastated by the judge's ruling and they would be appealing against it
The parents of a critically ill baby have lost a High Court life-support treatment fight. A judge had heard evidence about seven-month-old Indi Gregory’s condition at a recent private trial in the Family Division of the High Court, at the Royal Courts of Justice complex in London.
“With a heavy heart I have come to the conclusion that the burdens of invasive treatment outweigh the benefits,” said the judge in a written ruling. “In short, the significant pain experienced by this lovely little girl is not justified when set against an incurable set of conditions, a very short life span, no prospect of recovery and, at best, minimal engagement with the world around her.”
“Indi is dying,” Ms Sutton told the judge. “We cannot get away from that fact, as sensitive as it may be. All realistic options have been exhausted.” “You have only got one life,” he had said. “You have to go through a little bit of pain to carry on with that life.”
