Archie Battersbee’s mum said the family are 'exploring one more option this evening' as she vowed to 'fight right until the bitter end'
Archie's mother has said she and Archie's father are "extremely disappointed" with the Supreme Court's decision.
She added: "I will continue to fight right until the bitter end. Is that the way forward in this country then we're allowed to execute children because they've got disabilities? What next?" Alistair Chesser, Chief Medical Officer for Barts Health NHS Trust, said: "Our deepest sympathies remain with Archie's family. As directed by the courts, we will now work with the family to prepare for the withdrawal of treatment. We aim to provide the best possible support to everyone at this difficult time."
On Tuesday morning 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.
