In a high-profile case regarding life-support treatment, a doctor has informed a High Court judge that a seven-month-old baby at the centre of the case is “dying” and keeping her on a ventilator would only serve to “prolong matters”.
The baby, Indi Gregory, is being treated for mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that drains energy from the body’s cells. Medical professionals at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham have stated that they have done their utmost for Indi and are deeply saddened by the situation.
