A judge says doctors can withdraw life support from seven-month-old girl Indi Gregory.
Doctors can withdraw life support from a critically ill seven-month-old baby, a High Court judge has ruled.
Indi Gregory has mitochondrial disease and medics at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham have said they can do no more for her. Their application to the High Court to end her treatment had been opposed by the child's parents, from Ilkeston in Derbyshire.In his judgment, the judge said the devotion of the family to Indi was "palpable" and their pain "almost unimaginable".
Hearings have taken place behind closed doors but journalists have been allowed to attend and name Indi, her parents, and the hospital. However, Indi's parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, argued their daughter had "proved everyone wrong" and "needed more time".Derbyshire pollution: The 18 areas with the worst air quality across the county – including Chesterfield, Alfreton, Dronfield, Heanor and South Normanton
