UK Court: Baby boy OT's life support should be switched off against parents' wishes

Posted Mar 20 2009 3:38pm

Yesterday, Judge Mrs Justice Parker ruled that desperately ill nine-month-old baby boy OT did not have the right to life ‘in all circumstances’


She ruled that the life support machine should be turned off against his parents’ wishes.  


After a ten-day hearing, she gave doctors permission to turn off the ventilator that has kept OT alive since he was three weeks old.  


Still, the judge did put a temporary stay on the order giving the parents one last chance to appeal. (Daily Mail)
