Christian Concern’s Chief Executive Andrea Williams wrote for Premier to explain the principles at work in Indi’s case.

She concluded:

“It is deeply shocking to see judges rule, time after time, that it is in someone’s ‘best interests’ to die.”

“No one knows for sure what will happen to Indi if treatment is continued. It may be unsuccessful. Equally, the skill of doctors in Italy, experimental trials and treatments or the miraculous intervention of God may give Indi much longer, and some quality of life.

“Indi is made in God’s image, just like you and me … Her parents and siblings clearly love her; we should stand with them and Indi with the practical help they need and in prayer.”
