Archie Battersbee’s mum has vowed to give her son mouth-to-mouth if it means he can spend his final moments 'in dignity' at a hospice
Archie Battersbee’s mum has vowed to give her son mouth-to-mouth if it means he can spend his final moments "in dignity" at a hospice. Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee have launched a legal bid to be allowed to choose where their 12-year-old spends his final days, after being declared brain stem dead.
Barts Health NHS Trust has said that they will not begin removing life-support until all legal issues have been resolved. On Wednesday, the Barts Health NHS Trust explained moving Archie to hospice would come with "considerable risk". They outlined that because he is in an "unstable condition" there is a risk of even moving him within his hospital bed.
Christian Concern, a religious group representing the family, said the family has also applied for palliative oxygen to be given to Archie if and when life-support is removed. They noted that in 2018, Alfie Evans wasn't legally allowed to be given oxygen when life-support had been withdrawn, leading to the family giving him mouth-to-mouth.
