Archie Battersbee’s mother, Hollie Dance, said hospital officials informed the family they would suspend the boy’s treatment at 10 a.m. British courts on Friday rejected the family’s request to transfer Archie to a hospice, and the European Court of Human Rights refused for a second time to intervene in the case.
Dance told Britain’s Sky News there was nothing else the family could do and she was “pretty broken” after the ordeal that began April 7, when Archie was found unconscious.The Royal London Hospital, where Archie was being treated, hasn’t confirmed Dance’s statement.Archie’s care became the subject of weeks of legal arguments as his parents sought to force the hospital to continue life-sustaining treatments and doctors argued there was no chance of recovery and he should be allowed to die.
The family asked for permission to move Archie to a hospice after British courts ruled it was in his best interests to end treatment. The hospital said Archie’s condition was so unstable that moving him would hasten his death.
Nice to see all the trolls politicizing this tragedy. He's dead. Here in the States he would still be dead. Let the poor kid go in peace and stop trying to use this sad story to forward your political agenda.
Heartless parents 😕
I’d rather a doctor decide when my care ends than an insurance company
😑
Why keep him 'alive' if he is brain dead and prolong the suffering? Selfish parents.
Read up on this. Mom is grifting off of this poor kid's suicide 😢
Why don't our elected MP's get involved...why they jostle for power.
No information is given re: diagnosis or brain activity; however, I do find this statement suspect: “The hospital said Archie’s condition was so unstable that moving him would hasten his death.” Why should the medical team care if they plan is to remove him from life support?
That's what you get with Socialism
ARCHIE BATTERSBEE I pray to the sprits too be with your son ❤️🙏
The doctors did everything in their power, it wasn’t enough. The human body can only go so far, it’s a case of the parents not letting their kid rest. He fought all he could, let the kid go.
