By Press Association 2021 Alta Fixsler A seriously ill two-year-old girl can have life-sustaining treatment withdrawn in her best interests, a High Court judge has ruled. Alta Fixsler suffered a severe brain injury at birth and her doctors say she cannot breathe, eat or drink without sophisticated medical treatment. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, which has responsibility for her care, asked a High Court judge to decide whether it is in Alta’s best interests to withdraw life-sustaining treatment and put her on a palliative care regime. At a hearing last week, lawyers representing the trust told the court that there is “no prospect of her ever getting better”.
