If the hospital wins its argument in the High Court, it will mark the first time that a British court has terminated life support—against a parent’s wishes—of a child that doesn’t suffer from brain damage.

Lawyers representing the father have stated that the baby doesn’t suffer brain deficiencies due to the condition, has fully functional senses, and can recognize his parents.

“The father feels very strongly that Baby RB has a quality of life that demands the trust should continue to provide life-sustaining treatment,” said Christopher Cuddihee, speaking on behalf of the father.
