Baby RB - Mother explains why she fought to let her son die

In November 2009, I blogged (here, here, and here, and here) about the very high profile Baby RB medical futility case in the British courts.  This was a case in which the mother supported withdrawing life support but the father did not.  Today, the mother, Kelly Bickell, talked to BBC Radio 5 about her decision.  I posted a copy of the High Court's opinion here.
