AMBER Hartland has won many battles during her short life and now her devoted parents are preparing for the biggest fight of all - for her right to life.

Much to the distress of her parents, Nick and Lesley, a health trust is going to ask a court to decide on the six-year-old's future care.

Do you think Amber should receive treatment?

Let us know by leaving a comment below

It could mean that brave Amber, currently in hospital with a severe chest infection, would not receive treatment in the future.

But her dad insisted she still has a good quality of life and both her parents ensure she enjoys "every second".

Now Argus readers are being asked to back a campaign which says decisions about Amber's care should be made by her mum and dad.

Cwmbran councillor Catherine Lewis has started a petition and readers are also being urged to post messages of support on our website or write to Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust in protest at their decision.
