The High Court has ruled that doctors can turn off the life support of an extremely ill eight month old child against the wishes of his parents. The judge ruled that the child, who has a debilitating degenerative condition, should be allowed to "die with dignity" after it was found that the brain damage he has suffered cannot be improved, but the parents want to take him to the US for experimental treatment. In these circumstances, do you think the judge did or did not make the right call?
