According to experts at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, taking the woman off life support would be in her best interests.
A judge in England has ruled that a young woman who has coronavirus as well as an underlying health condition and remains in a medically induced coma a month after giving birth should be allowed to die.
According to Mr Justice Hayden, sitting at an urgently convened, virtual hearing of the Court of Protection, doctors at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust can lawfully end the woman's life-support treatment since her chances of recovery are "zero".
