A judge at Britain’s High Court has ruled that life support for a terminally ill 8-month-old baby should be withdrawn at a hospice or hospital.

Italy's government on Monday granted Italian citizenship to an eight-month-old terminally ill British girl after a court in Britain upheld rulings authorizing the withdrawal of life-supporting invasive treatment.
In a written ruling, Justice Robert Peel said he accepted the evidence of medical specialists at the Queen's Medical Center in Nottingham arguing that treatment for Indi should be withdrawn in a hospice or hospital. "There are a number of factors which render extubation and palliative care at the family home all but impossible, and certainly contrary to best interests,” he said.
Justice Peel has said his decision was based on findings that Indi was critically ill, had no prospect of improvement and an “extremely limited quality of life,” combined with evidence that she experienced frequent pain as a result of her treatment. Dean Gregory, Indi's father, said it was “disgraceful” for doctors and British courts to ignore the offer from Italy's government.
