Judges in the United Kingdom have doubled-down on a mandate to pull life-support from 8-month-old Indi Gregory, against the wishes of her parents.
Judges in the United Kingdom have doubled-down on their mandate to remove a terminally ill infant from life support rather than allow parents to seek treatment at the Vatican . Justice Robert Peel ruled Wednesday that 8-month-old Indi Gregory was to be removed from her life-supporting ventilator on Thursday against the parents' wishes. An appeal in the case has been denied and the child is mandated to be removed from life support imminently.
The courts sided with Peel's mandate on Friday, denying Dean and Claire Gregory's right to appeal. Senior UK judges Lord Justice Peter Jackson, Lady Justice Eleanor King and Lord Justice Andrew Moylan of the Court of Appeals refused the appeal, ruling that the Italian government and the Vatican were 'wholly misconceived' attempting to transfer the ill infant into their custody.
Italian consul Matteo Corradini has ordered the UK to cede jurisdiction to the child's designated Italian guardian due to 'imminent danger to the life of Indi,' according to Christian Concern.
