Doctor turns off sick baby’s life support without parents’ consent (Punch)

A couple, Sian Hill, 26 and partner James Tower, 29, are in a legal battle with Darlington Memorial Hospital, UK, after the hospital allegedly turned off their baby’s life support without their consent.

The couple claimed the hospital turned off their baby’s life support without their consent after she was rushed to resuscitation following a traumatic birth.

Sian said they were initially led to believe she had died when she was being brought to them, and not as a result of her life support being stopped.

The couple got to know only when reading through pathologist reports some months later that the staff had allegedly taken the decision to end life support against their wishes, reports METRO UK. Read more
