The parents of Baby Indi are fighting to allow her to receive end-of-life treatment at home.
Indi was born with mitochondrial disease – a genetic condition that saps energy The parents of a critically ill baby who has been at the centre of a life-support fight are preparing to mount an appeal after failing to persuade a High Court judge to let the little girl receive end-of-life care at home. Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth want specialists to withdraw treatment from eight-month-old Indi Gregory at their home in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
But Mr Justice Peel has already ruled that specialists can lawfully limit treatment. He has concluded that such a move would be in Indi’s best interests. Indi’s parents want specialists to keep providing life-support treatment Indi’s parents have failed to persuade Court of Appeal judges and judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, to overturn that treatment decision. The couple have also failed in a bid to transfer Indi to a hospital in Rome.
