Brain-damaged girl, 10 is now breathing unaided five years after doctors tried to turn off her life support

A BRAIN-DAMAGED girl whose parents had to fight for her right to live is breathing without a ventilator, can sit up, and enjoys watching cartoons five years after doctors tried to turn off her life support.
