Pros had anticipated that the young lady had weeks to live. The judge said it was completely justifiable that the young lady's folks needed her to live for whatever length of time that possible.She made the decision subsequent to examining the case at a private hearing in the family division of the high court in London prior this month. The family included couldn't be distinguished.
