The legal battle is the latest in a series of very public British cases in which parents and doctors have sparred over who is better qualified to make decisions about a child’s medical care.
A 12-year-old boy who had been in a coma for four months died Saturday at a London hospital after doctors ended the life-sustaining treatment his family had fought to continue.
Doctors said there was no chance for the boy's recovery, but the family wanted to continue life-sustaining treatment. A judge ruled against the family in court.
