Well, I certainly agree with you about this nonsense over terrorists in prison.
If it is your priority that the taxpayer should spend money on hopeless cases, fine. Personally, |I believe that such cases should have no more than the medication neccessary to give then a dignified and painless end. I cannot see the point of spending additional taxpayer funds when those same amounts could go into stopping people contracting fatal diseases in the first place.
