I think they made the wrong decision.

Kilsally selective European now just when it suits them. corrupt body

No winners here, let the lad go,

As tragic as it is the poor lad is only been kept alive by life saving equipment that’s not quality of life for him easy for me to say I wouldn’t want to be in this position but just let him go with a bit of dignity now as sad as that is

It’s time to let Archie rest, he’s not going to recover. As tragic as it’s is, it’s the right decision to let him go. Hopefully the family can channel their grief into getting stupid tiktok challenges banned so no other family has to suffer like they have.

Correct decision.

Archie Battersbee: Who decides when life support ends?Tragically, for a small number of children who become critically ill each year, medicine reaches its limits. Who decides when life support ends? (Not stating my opinion, I am the neutral Poll Master) For me its the hope that kills you. The parents hope he will improve despite no medical evidence of this ever going to happen. They need time to mourn him properly but they can't do that until they let him go. All the courts said turn machine off, time to let him rest in peace. So sad for the family.
