A 12-day-old baby whose teenage mother died on the day he was born has irreversible brain-damage and should be allowed to die, a judge has ruled.
Danielle Jones, 18, collapsed and died at her parents home in Bristol on 17 January, the High Court heard.
Her son, Danny, was delivered by caesarean section and moved to a hospital intensive care unit.
Specialists said Danny had suffered irreversible brain-damage during birth and should be allowed to die. Secret pregnancy
