A court has ruled that a mother who is in a permanent vegetative state will be allowed to die.
The 35-year-old is a Muslim woman from Iraq who moved to Britain with her husband a decade ago. The Court of Protection in London said the woman’s name cannot be released but the health authority with responsibility for her care was based in Leeds.
It is understood she suffered a cardiac arrest and fell into unconsciousness a day after giving birth to her son nearly eight years ago.
Medical experts said there was "no hope" of improvement and the judge ruled that medics can stop providing food and water via artificial means.
