In a landmark ruling today, the Supreme Court has said that families will no longer need legal permission to withdraw food and life support of loved ones who are in a permanent vegetative state, according to the BBC.

Once families and doctors are in agreement, feeding tubes of such patients can be removed without applying to the Court of Protection.
