<p>A High Court judge has approved a care plan which doctors hope will allow the six-month-old boy to have a “dignified life” and a “dignified death”.</p>
<p>Mr Justice Baker said on Monday that the little boy’s parents had agreed to a plan put forward by doctors after fighting hard to ensure that “every possible treatment” was made available.</p>
<p>Doctors had become concerned that there was nothing they could do to reverse the effects of brain damage and that life-support treatment was causing the little boy to suffer.</p>
<p>The judge said the baby’s parents had found themselves in a predicament which “all parents dread”.<br />
He said he had “profound sympathy”.</p>
<p>Mr Justice Baker published a ruling on the case on Monday after analysing evidence over the telephone at an out-of-hours hearing in the Family Division of the High Court a few days ago.</p>
<p>The judge, who is based in London, has not identified anyone involved &#8211; although he indicated that the little boy was being cared for at a hospital in Wales.</p>
