The parents of an 'affectionate' 21-year-old woman with Down's syndrome have been forbidden from having her sterilised despite their concerns she could fall pregnant.
In a landmark ruling at the Court of Protection in London, Mr Justice Cobb concluded that such a procedure would be 'disproportionate'.
He said the case engaged important human rights considerations and that  the woman, referred to as K, lacked the capacity to understand and weigh up the options for herself.
