I take on board what you are saying Tealeaf......but I believe it is a very short step to withdrawing treatment for other terminal illnesses......cancer being one of those.
I know all about the NHS.......having worked in it for more that 30 years.

The medical profession equate nourishment and water as 'treatment' for this guy with the cerebral ataxia.......It must be agony to die a lingering death when food and water is withdrawn. I believe that Euthanasia in situations like this, would be a kinder option......although i am not advocating euthanasia per se.
