The father and mother of the 12-year-old boy, who has been in a coma since April, are taking every possible legal step to save their son’s life. A day earlier, they appeared to be resigned to a negative ruling by the British Supreme Court. They announced that Archie’s treatment would be discontinued Wednesday morning.
But the parents have decided to continue in the long and high-profile legal battle over the stretching of the son’s life. “We’re not giving up on Archie until the end,” the mother said. The family held a vigil with the child in London hospital last night.
According to the doctors there, the boy’s prospects are “nil.” He was seriously injured when, according to his mother, he supposedly participated in an online challenge, in which participants deliberately try to become unconscious. According to the parents, their son is making good progress.
