The decision to switch off life support is based purely on the fact that his family are dead? Absolutely not then. If he is clinically dead, and could only be kept alive artificially, then the decision to turn off the support would be made by a group of qualified people, not just one person playing God.

Making a decision to switch off life support because the child has no family would open up a whole can of worms around end of life decisions for disabled people without family and for the elderly.
