Family asked for permission to move child from Royal London hospital to spend last moments with him in private
The high court has rejected an application by the family of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee to allow him to die “with dignity” in a hospice rather than a hospital.
His mother, Hollie Dance, said a “dignified passing at a hospice” was all she had left to fight for after the family exhausted all legal routes to maintain his life support treatment. She said she wanted her son to “spend his last moments” privately with family.
