Judge rules against more life-support treatment for baby Charlie Gard

Doctors can withdraw life-support treatment from a baby with a rare genetic condition against his parents' wishes, a High Court judge has ruled.

There was a scream of ‘no’ in the court as the decision about eight-month-old Charlie Gard’s care was announced by Mr Justice Francis, who had analysed evidence over three days and had visited the child at Great Ormond Street Hospital

Specialists at the hospital in London think it is time to stop providing life support treatment for Charlie.
