The president of the High Court has made orders permitting artificial life support to be withdrawn from a young woman in a persistent vegetative state for almost ten years, and for palliative care to be administered, so she can die a natural death.
The woman’s mother, supported by her extended family, had sought the orders.
They were in court on Monday and wiped away tears as Ms Justice Mary Irvine read her judgment.
