I actually came across this story from my Face-Book page..It is so very sad…
When did it become necessary for the judge or doctors to decide if one life is more important that another???
You decide for yourself…..
The mother of a seriously ill baby who died after doctors were given permission to withhold treatment is planning to sue the hospital, it emerged today.
Luke Winston-Jones, who had the rare genetic disorder Edwards Syndrome, died aged 10 months in Liverpool’s Alder Hey children’s hospital last November.
Doctors believed it was not in Luke’s best interest to be kept alive through aggressive medical intervention, and in October last year the High Court granted permission to withhold such treatment.
Luke’s mother, 36-year-old Ruth Winston-Jones, of Holyhead, north Wales, has always believed more could have been done to save her son.
She will meet a solicitor today to discuss options for pursuing a claim of clinical negligence.
She said: “This isn’t about money. It’s about getting justice for my son.”
