The mother of a chronically ill baby has defended her court battle with the child's father to have his life support machine turned off.
The boy, known only as RB, has congenital myasthenic syndrome, a rare neuromuscular condition which severely limits limb movement and the ability to breathe independently. He has been in hospital since birth.
Doctors want to take the one-year-old off a ventilator which helps him to breathe, but the boy's father, who is separated from the mother, opposes the plan.
The hospital trust which provides his care has taken the case to the High Court.
If the trust wins, it would be the first time a British court has ruled against the wishes of a parent whose child does not suffer from brain damage.
