A judge has ruled that medics can lawfully stop providing life-support treatment to the man, who is in his early 50s and in a coma, after a trial in a specialist court. Specialists said the man – who has an underlying kidney problem – had no awareness, said there was “no scope” for rehabilitation, and said continuing treatment was not in his best interests.She said her husband’s religious faith was such that he would want his “life to be sustained” for as long as possible.Mr Justice Hayden had overseen the case in the Court of Protection, where judges consider cases involving people who lack the mental capacity to make decisions, in London, earlier this week.
The judge, who also oversees cases in the Family Division of the High Court in London, said he had “no doubt” that the man’s family was “deeply rooted” in “Pentecostal beliefs”.
