England, Jan. 31 (LifesiteNews.com/CWN) - A UK judge refused on Friday to overturn a doctor's order that a 15-month-old girl not be resuscitated should she stop breathing, despite her parents' opposition to such an order.

The parents of the girl, Charlotte Wyatt, in another hearing planned before Easter, hope to present new evidence proving that the girl's condition has "dramatically improved" according to a BBC report.

In October, Mr. Justice Hedley sided with the hospital, part of the government-run socialized health-care system, that decided Charlotte's "quality of life" would be so poor that she ought not to be resuscitated should she experience another medical emergency. Charlotte was born three months premature and her chance of survival at birth was estimated to be only be 50 percent.

"The hospital is trying to get us to pull the plug," said Charlotte's father, Darren Wyatt, before the October ruling. "I cannot do that. I would have to live with that for the rest of my life. I simply cannot make a decision to end Charlotte's life. She has been fighting for 10 months and I'm not prepared to let her down. We need to be able to say we did absolutely everything in our power to help her."

"A caring society should support the needs of a family who wish to care for and love their special needs child," said Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, on Friday. "Baby Charlotte is not dead but cognitively disabled. Society should be willing to care for all children with disabilities. Charlotte's parents are suffering enough without having to battle the state over the medical care of their child."
