Archie Battersbee, who is on life support, is set to have treatment withdrawn at 2pm on Monday unless the government complies with an injunction from the United Nations’ High Commissioner for Human Rights., said in a letter to his parents that"no supplemental oxygen will be given" after the endotracheal tube of the mechanical ventilator is removed.
"A doctor will assess Archie regularly to confirm that the heart has stopped beating but with consideration of the family's need not to have too much intrusion at such a difficult time."Archie's parents Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee will be told on Monday morning how the withdrawal process is to be performed, with the aim to"preserve Archie's dignity", the letter read.
It went on:"You or any of the family may wish to lie on Archie's bed with him or have him in your arms, if that should be practically possible."
