MirrorUK reports that a one-year-old baby Marwa ,was hospitalized in September, in an induced coma after suffering from a virus that caused severe neurological disorders.
Against parents' wishes, the doctors, citing "aggressive therapy", wanted to disconnect the device that
was keeping her alive. The parents, from Algeria, started a petition on Facebook , "Not without my Marwa", to help raise funds to challenge their decision.
With over 70,000 signatures, the court ruled in favour of an "extension of care" at La Timone hopsital, Marseille, for two months.
But doctors were insistent that they would fight to turn off the respirator sooner - terminating her life - arguing that she will never walk, eat, or breathe independently.
Ten days later, Marwa woke up.........
"Her treatment continues, but we see daily progress, and it gives us great hope. "When I talk to her, she hears my voice, she reacts, sometimes she smiles," her dad says.
