Indi Gregory, an 8-month-old in the United Kingdom mandated by a judge to be taken off life support, has gained some time through an appeal process hoping to overturn the ruling.
An 8-month-old infant in the United Kingdom has been given more time to live after an appeal suspended a judge's mandate that she be removed from life support. Justice Robert Peel ruled Wednesday that Indi Gregory was to be removed from her life-supporting ventilator on Thursday against the parents' wishes. Now, the Gregory family has successfully launched an appeal to that mandate, hoping to negotiate the right to seek continued treatment overseas.
They say there isn’t much hope for little Indi, but until the very end, I’ll do what I can to defend her life, and to defend the right of her mamma and papa to do all that they can for her,' Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on social media this week. The Court of Appeals will hear the Gregorys' case on Nov. 10. Doctors at Queen's Medical Center in Nottingham will not be allowed to remove the infant from life support until the conclusion of the appeals process.
The Italian government has pressed the U.K. courts heavily to turn the child over to their custody. 'Earlier today, with the clock ticking, Indi's Italian guardian made an urgent application to the U.K. High Court calling on Mr Justice Robert Peel to cede jurisdiction of the case to him under Article 9§2 of the 1996 Hague Convention,' religious legal group Christian Concern explained Friday.
