Tragic end to a medical nightmare in Britain. Reports that twelve-year-old Archie Battersbee has died after a court ordered he be taken off life support against his parents’ wishes.
After the long and strenuous legal battle for Archie’s life, and after the European Court of Human Rights refused to intervene, Archie died on August 6, as his mother, Hollie Dance, reported. After treatment had been withdrawn according to court rulings, Archie Battersbee succumbed at The Royal London Hospital. This statement was read by Alistair Chesser on Saturday, the chief medical officer at Barts Health NHS Trust. This isn’t some third-world country, but a medically advanced, Western nation.
Young Battersbee was taken off life support by a court order. He was then moved to hospice despite the fact that his breathing was normal. Dance stated that Battersbee was a wonderful little boy who battled until the last.[I am]He is so proud of me being his mother.”
“He went completely blue,” the fiancée of Ella Carter, Archie’s eldest brother, said. There is nothing more degrading than watching your child or family member die. No family should ever have to go through what we’ve been through. It’s barbaric.”
According to the statement, members of Battersbee’s family were at his bedside and their thoughts and condolences are with them during this time. First, young Battersbee was the victim of a viral “blackout challenge” on TikTok, which has also led to the deaths of other children worldwide. Now, he’s a victim of an amoral medical system.
Tragedies of this nature are proof that a healthcare system is essential for the protection and preservation of human life. Archie and his loved ones should receive prayers. And we shouldn’t forget about how sick some aspects of our culture are.
