Indi Gregory's parents have lost their High Court battle for their daughter to receive end-of-life care at home.

The life of eight-and-a-half-month-old Indi Gregory is at the heart of a profound ethical and medical struggle after a legal battle over ending her treatment.

However, her parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, say they would do whatever it takes to fight for the life of their daughter. "We are truly saddened that we are in this situation: it is our life’s work to make children better," the specialist told the judge. He said: “It has been little short of a public scandal, in my view, that until recently parents of children in these cases have not been eligible for public funding.”

"She can definitely experience happiness. She cries like a normal baby. We know she is disabled, but you don’t just let disabled people die. We just want to give her a chance." He added: “In my judgment, having weighed up all the competing considerations, her best interests are served by permitting the trust to withdraw invasive treatment.”Indi's parents said her life support treatment should continue.Two appeal judges, Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Birss, were then listed to oversee a Court of Appeal hearing, at the Royal Courts of Justice, in London on 23 October.They say they expect medics in England to begin the withdrawal of treatment soon.

“We are amazed and truly grateful to the hospital and the Italian government, which has restored our faith in humanity."The judge ruled that it is in Indi's "best interests" to die in the UK rather than be transferred to Italy to receive specialist treatment at the Bambino Gesù Paediatric Hospital.
