Mr Justice Poole, who visited the boy in hospital before allowing doctors to stop treatment, has also now reversed his approval on limiting treatment King's College Hospital also accepted it would not have asked for permission to withhold treatment if the boy had been 'in his current condition and circumstances'.
At the time, Mr Justice Poole ruled that the boy's 'parents' love and devotion to him is so strong that they cannot bring themselves to accept what those less personally connected can see'. 'It would be more honest if doctors acknowledged that he is an individual that medical science doesn’t really understand and isn’t a good basis for predicting what this complicated little boy can do.'He has a right to life. It seems to us his will to live is strong and his life is good.'
In his ruling the judge added that although the boy 'continues to suffer the burdens of his condition and of some of the treatment … there is also evidence that he is now able to derive pleasure from his life at home with his parents.'
