The tragedy of the loss of baby Indi Gregory: the family fight ended sadly.
Nottingham, November 13, 2023 Indi Gregory, an 8-month-old baby, tragically died on Monday after her life support device was removed, ending a family's long and heartbreaking struggle to keep her alive. Indi, who was previously treated at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, was transferred to the hospital for intensive care. Although his family had gone to great lengths to maintain his life support, all their attempts, including pleas to take him to Rome for experimental treatment, were successively rejected. The Italian government had granted citizenship to Indi in an extraordinary intervention, but the British court's decision to deprive her of her life support remained unshakable. On Friday, the family lost their final appeal when a senior judge decided to stick to the previous decision. In a heart-wrenching statement, Indi's father, Dean Gregory, expressed deep pain. "Claire and I were angry, heartbroken, and ashamed," he said. "Not only did the NHS and the courts deprive her of the opportunity to live longer, but they also deprived Indi of the dignity of dying in the home of the family in which she lived." Indi took her last breath at 1:45 on Monday, surrounded by her family. Dean Gregory asserts that although Indi's body and dignity may have been taken away, the little soul will always be remembered. "They tried to get rid of Indi without anyone knowing, but we made sure she would be remembered forever. I knew he was special from the moment he was born," she added. Indi Gregory's death raises serious questions about ethics in medical decisions, and her family's struggle will remain a story that shakes the hearts of many.
