Archie Battersbee’s mother, Hollie Dance, said hospital officials informed the family they would suspend the boy’s treatment at 10 a.m. British courts on Friday rejected the family’s request to transfer Archie to a hospice, and the European Court of Human Rights refused for a second time to intervene in the case.
Dance told Britain’s Sky News there was nothing else the family could do and she was “pretty broken” after the ordeal that began April 7, when Archie was found unconscious.The mother of Archie Battersbee, Hollie Dance , speaks to the media outside the Royal London hospital in Whitechapel, east London, Wednesday Aug. 3, 2022.

“I return to where I started, recognizing the enormity of what lays ahead for Archie’s parents and the family. Their unconditional love and dedication to Archie is a golden thread that runs through this case,â³ Thies wrote in her decision. “I hope now Archie can be afforded the opportunity for him to die in peaceful circumstances, with the family who meant so much to him as he clearly does to them.

Under British law, it is common for courts to intervene when parents and doctors disagree on a child’s medical treatment. In such cases, the best interests of the child take primacy over the parents’ right to decide what they believe is best for their offspring.
