Indi Gregory, Infant at Center of UK-Italy Legal Battle, Dies after Life Support Withdrawn

Parents and Italian Government's Efforts to Transfer Her for Experimental Treatment Rejected by UK Courts

Indi Gregory, an eight-month-old baby suffering from a rare mitochondrial disease, has died after her life support was withdrawn.
Indi's parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, had fought a legal battle to keep her on life support and transfer her to a hospital in Rome for experimental treatment.
The Italian government had granted Indi citizenship and sought permission for her to be treated at Bambino Gesu Children’s Hospital in Rome.
British courts ruled in favor of doctors who argued that further treatment was futile and that Indi should be allowed to die peacefully.
Indi's father criticized the courts for not allowing Indi to die at home, stating they took away her chance to live a longer life and her dignity.
