The parents of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee have lost a Supreme Court bid to block the withdrawal of his life-sustaining treatment pending a review of his case by a UN committee.
Doctors in London had been preparing to switch off the life-support treatment of Archie Battersbee, but his parents lodged an application to appeal the decision with the Supreme Court.
The court said they reached the conclusion "with a heavy heart" and extended their "deep sympathy to Archie’s parents at this very sad time". A friend on the family said they want the 12-year-old to be moved to a hospice if his life support is to be cut off.
