The Court of Appeal has backed a decision by the High Court that Archie Battersbee cannot be moved from hospital to a hospice to die.
The family of the 12-year-old, who experts say is brain dead and will not survive without life-support treatment, had asked the courts to allow them to move him to a hospice.

Disgusting and Disgraceful these courts need to look at themselves long and hard on what they've done basically they murdered Archie 😪 😢 😔
The UK is a backwards barbaric nation .
😪
Disgraceful…nz
I feel sad 4 the boy, parents meh nothing to say about them… social media killed this boy
Absolutely disgusted. I am appalled, this country is a joke..
The devil is dancing in London.
Why don’t Turkey and Japan share this incredible medical knowledge they have on how to bring brain stem dead people back to life? I’m sure the rest of the worlds medical professionals would love to hear how they managed that one, Archie died over 3 months ago, his guilt ridden mother has been desperate to make amends for failing him ever since
Disgusting
Why?
Thing is not being rude but he's already passed away so what is the mum thinking,, let him go now it's just so sad to hold on rip lovely boy xx
Archie, died in May. His mother is delusional!
This court ppl should be jailed for court murder for Archie killing
His poor family, his mum, my heart breaks for her…. I just pray a miracle happens for that sweet lad 🙏
£15,000 a day he is costing the tax payer
So very Sad for all concerned.
But to say he might die if he is moved to a Hospice is not logical as he will die either way.
The only ending here is Death.
It does appear in this video that the boy is gripping an adults hand at 2 mins 59 sec
I just wish it would've been possible to save him
The boy is Alive, he can feel !!!
Right so why not a hospice so the Lad, family can have peaceful goodbye.
☠️
The eternal barbarity of the highly educated Elite who decide who should live and who should die, that Elite is the cause of all misery on this planet and beyond. Also experienced that a family member wanted to pull the plug as doctor mentioned several times. Not admitted and after + 12 years she is still alive, with another besides family member a few years ago the killers still got their way. "Wisdom was once replaced by made-up intelligence. Alan Watts"
And look now the world is indeed a mess.
😭😭😭
❤Archie 🙏
ENOUGH.
So after reading the background info on this, it's because the hospital don't want to risk losing Archie completely while in transit to a hospice or anywhere else. It makes sense and from the looks of it, everyone involved has analysed the situation thoroughly
Let him go, he obviously didn't want to live. This is just pure torture
He is already dead. Stop fooling his body to make it feel it is alive. His soul is no longer within him. He's brain dead not in comma.
Archie's Mum brought him in to the world and some court ruling as the final say over what potentially could be his last moments in this world. This just does not seem right to me. Let the family those who knew him and loved him the most decide where he should be during his final moments. This is heartbreaking.
Rest In Peace lad
The boy Archie Battersbee is Alive, he can feel !!!
Oh no archie 😪🙏
There is still one thing to try cryonic suspension.
At what point will this family accept that all the Courts agree with the qualified medics and they have no chance of moving him or preventing the withdrawal of life support.
Their time and energy would be better spent with Archie and saying their goodbyes. RIP Archie god bless 💙
Who is paying for all this ?
