Indi Gregory is seriously ill with a genetic condition and a High Court judge recently ruled in favour of doctors arguing her life-sustaining treatment should be limited.

A bid by two parents to take the life support case of their critically-ill baby before the European Court of Human Rights has failed, according to their supporters. Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth previously lost a High Court battle to ensure their daughter, Indi Gregory, continued to receive life-saving treatment. A spokesman for the Christian Legal Centre, which is backing the pair, said on Thursday the ECHR had 'rejected' an application to hear the case at its courts in Strasbourg.

Judge Justice Peel ruled earlier this month that doctors could lawfully limit the treatment being provided to the eight-month-old, against her parents' wishes. They failed to persuade judges to overturn this decision. Specialists say she is dying and bosses at the hospital's governing trust asked Mr Justice Peel to rule that doctors could lawfully limit treatment provided to her.
