Archie Battersbee's parents have put in a last ditch bid to the Court of Appeal to have him moved to a hospice

Ms Justice Theis said the Court considered the wishes of the family, the reasonings for them, the hospice's facilities, the likely wishes of Archie himself and the risks involved in the transfer.

Judge Theis said the Court recognised "the enormity of what lays ahead for Archie’s parents and the family". After the ruling, Archie's mother said: "All our wishes as a family have been denied by the authorities. We are broken, but we are keeping going, because we love Archie and refuse to give up on him."

Archie Battersbee: European Court of Human Rights turns down parents' caseThe 12-year-old's life support was due to be withdrawn on Wednesday morning. This has clearly been heartbreaking for the family and the medical staff. Its hard but they need to let him go, they are prolonging his body for selfish reasons. Let him rest in peace now . God bless I'm not medical, but my heart goes to them. I would personally donate some money to keep him alive and give him a chance, when/if everything is denied to him and his family. Any fund raising available?

The mother should of let him go a long time ago , Waisting precious nhs time and money They should let the poor kid be moved to a hospice. But only if the parents have their passports (and Archie’s) taken away until the child dies. The situation is sad and my heart goes out to the family, but the mother is being incredibly selfish and is denying science. He is brain stem dead and his brain has started to deteriorate. Her love for her son has blinded her of basic neuroscience. The best thing is to let him go
