Having fought with doctors over her son's life support, the boy's mother expressed her hope that a new BBC drama based on a made-up case would help people "understand" what "parents are going through.".
Southend-on-Sea resident Archie Battersbee's hospital life support system was turned off in August of last year.
Best Interests, a television series starring Michael Sheen and Sharon Horgan, debuted its first episode on Monday.
Mother Hollie Dance said, "It is important that it be highlighted.
"Because without experiencing it yourself, it's impossible to comprehend what the parents are going through. ".
After a "prank or experiment" gone wrong, Archie was discovered unconscious at his home on April 7, 2017, according to the coroner's report.
Despite receiving mechanical ventilation and drug therapy at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, he sustained severe brain injuries and never recovered consciousness.
The family fought to continue care, but judges at the High Court and Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Barts Health NHS Trust, whose doctors claimed he should stop receiving life support because he was "brain stem dead.".
Jack Thorne, who also co-wrote the stage version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, is the author of Best Interests, a four-part television series that will be aired over the upcoming two weeks.
The drama on BBC One tells the tale of parents who disagree with doctors and believe it would be best for their daughter Marnie, who has a serious illness, to be allowed to pass away.
Ms. Dance stated that she was still collaborating with Conservative MP Anna Firth on legislation changes that would make it simpler for patients to travel abroad to consider alternative treatments.
She said in an interview with BBC Essex, "Why shouldn't you be allowed to take your child abroad if somebody else is offering some help, even if it is just the slightest bit of help?".
