Family of Archie Battersbee ask court to let him die ‘with dignity’ in hospice
The Guardian says The family of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee have lodged a court application to have him moved to die “with dignity” in a hospice rather than in a hospital.
The family have exhausted all legal routes to postpone the withdrawal of Archie’s life support, after the European court of human rights said it would not interfere in the decision of the UK courts.
On Thursday, a family spokesperson confirmed lawyers had lodged a final application to the high court in London to transfer Archie from the Royal London hospital to a hospice.
