Archie Battersbee: European Court of Human Rights turns down parents' caseThe 12-year-old's life support was due to be withdrawn on Wednesday morning.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
