STRASBOURG. The European Court of Human Rights will not intervene in the decision to end life support for Archie Battersbee: the court has in fact rejected the appeal of the parents of the 12-year-old British child, in a state of brain death, an appeal against the doctors’ decision to suspend the care that keeps him alive.
London, doctors do not pull the plug on Archie Battersbee, the 12-year-old boy in a coma since April 7
With a decision taken with an urgent procedure, the president of the court – said the court itself with a note – decided “not to pronounce the requested precautionary measure” and “to declare the complaints of the applicants inadmissible”.
