Baby injured in bath to have ventilator removed

A one-year-old boy who was left brain damaged when he was found face down in a bath can have his ventilator removed, a High Court judge ruled.

The boy has now been on a ventilator for eight months and cannot successfully breathe for himself, the court heard. "The reality from this early stage was that this was a brain injury of such devastating consequence that there was a vanishingly small prospect of survival," he said. However, medical experts disagreed and one doctor told the court it was "unlikely that H experiences either pain or pleasure".
