Tragic End for Indi Gregory: Sick Baby at Center of UK Legal Battle Dies

Indi Gregory, an 8-month-old baby suffering from mitochondrial disease, has died in a hospice after her life support was withdrawn. Her parents had fought to continue life support in hopes of experimental treatments, while doctors argued that she had no awareness of her surroundings and should be allowed to die peacefully. The case, which involved a legal battle between her parents, British health officials, and the Italian government, highlights the ongoing debate over parental rights and the treatment of terminally ill children in the UK.

Parents' Battle for Terminally Ill UK Baby's Life Extends Lifeline to Vatican Hospital

An 8-month-old terminally ill baby in the UK has been granted more time to live as her parents fight a judge's mandate to remove her from life support. The baby suffers from a degenerative mitochondrial disease, and her parents have appealed the decision in order to seek continued treatment overseas. They have made arrangements with the Vatican's Bambino Gesù hospital in Rome for her care and have secured Italian citizenship for her. The Court of Appeals will hear their case in November, and until then, the baby cannot be taken off life support. The Italian government has also pressed the UK courts to hand over custody of the child.
