Doctor: Starving Alfie Evans to Death “Is Not the Killing of A Child,” It’s Just “Redirecting Care”

Does anyone remember the NHS putting on a song and dance routine to open the London Olympics? It was a sorry propaganda spectacle, and it highlighted how much the UK socialized medicine system sucks. Alfie isn't the first and sadly, he will not be the last. Are you next?

This article barely captures the disgust of it all.

And to this day, the NHS is a disgusting nag which should be put down, not even behind the barn.

What would you have done with a brain dead infant? What good does it do the child if he is not even there mentally to have him on decades of life support? You think maybe in 30 years medical science will have advanced so much he can be brought up to being a thinking adult?

The post that was quoted here has been removed
Duchy: In my own family, a child died young of a health condition that could be not treated at that time.
Her surviving siblings have said that they were not traumatized at all by that inevitable death.
She was a nice girl of about ordinary abilities and interests, and we don't attempt to deceive
ourselves or others into believing that she was or would have been anything more.

Good point; at the next funeral of a young child I attend, I'll make sure to request from the parents copies of their school grades, IQ scores and relevant recommendations from their teachers so I can adjust my mourning level accordingly.
