Turns out the entire Archie issue hangs on euthanisa being illegal in the UK but so long as brain stem death can be determined life support is legally allowed to be withdrawn.
- interesting because the case was of a boy who was not brain stem dead..."The Court is bound by Airedale NHS v Bland [1993] AC 789 which makes clear the legal criteria for death is brain stem death"
I reread the High Court judgement and this part caught me eye:
The statement is because at that level most patients are already deceased or just about but if his medical opinion is one that the necrosis is actually stable isn't that favourable to Archie remaining plugged in? As in the brain stem won't continue to rot away further?"Dr P was asked if the necrosis would continue and he said that there was probably not much more that could occur."
