LEICESTER, United Kingdom – A British judge ruled Wednesday that a baby girl with a rare disease may not be transferred from the UK to Italy for treatment, despite a fast-track decision by the Italian government to grant her citizenship and to name the general director of the papally-sponsored Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital as her guardian.
Based on the ruling, life support should be withdrawn from eight-month-old Indi Gregory today. The judge also turned down a request from the baby’s parents that they be allowed to take her home for end-of-life care.
