Indi Gregory was given Italian citizenship and offered treatment in Rome, paid for by Italy, but the judge refused to allow the move, calling it 'dangerous'.
A critically ill baby's life support will not allowed to be ended at home, a High Court judge has ruled. Indi Gregory was born in February with mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that saps energy. Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, Indi's parents, have continually fought to overturn multiple rulings by UK courts to keep their daughter on life support.
'There are a number of factors which render extubation and palliative care at the family home all but impossible, and certainly contrary to best interests,' the judge said. 'It is too dangerous to do so given the clinical complications.' He added: 'I consider it essential that should continue to have clinical treatment of the highest quality, carried out in a safe and sustainable setting. That will not be available at home.
