According to his doctors, Archie is brain dead and turning off the ventilator is best for the boy. The odds of his recovery are said to be “none”.
The boy’s parents want doctors to continue treating him as long as his heart is still beating. They are supported in this by churches and other Christian organizations.
On July 15, it was decided on appeal to stop Archie’s treatment. This decision is in line with the previous ruling last June.
