Boy at heart of UK court battle dies after life support ends

Archie Battersbee’s mother, Hollie Dance, said he died at 12:15 p.m., about two hours after the hospital began withdrawing treatment. British courts had 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.

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. On Friday, High Court Judge Lucy Theis rejected the family’s request, saying Archie should remain in the hospital while treatment was withdrawn.

Democrats support this. He wasn't fully mature so under their definition the freedom of choice holds up. Lights out fetus.

So so sad RIP Sincere sympathy to his family

I am curious..what online challenge rendered the kid to go unconscious. I cannot find any details on what happened or what caused it. Also, I guess once u go into the hospital, the docs & hosp admin override wishes of parents & play God, ok got it! Sad for the parents. May he RIP

A very sad end to a sad situation. May he rest in peace and may his family find peace in his memory.

His brain stem is dead. He is dead except for machines and drugs keeping his body breathing. Moving him is not in his best interest. Patents don’t want to let him go and are fighting Letting his body die. While totally understandable, it’s time to let go. So they are following the WEF agenda . No surprise . Kid played a death defying game…now he’s brain dead…won his prize. Emotion has no place in the courtroom.
