UK Teen Denied Right to Make Medical Decisions

A 19-year-old woman diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease in the UK has been denied the right to make her own medical decisions. Despite defying her doctors' life expectancy predictions, the NHS is seeking to end her care, arguing that she has no chance of survival.
