Re: The right to Life.......?
Lettie is right.........I think it is not right to resus anyone who has a tenous hold on life (for whatever reason).......but to deny nourishment and fluid is torture........the NHS has a duty of care.
Many years ago I saw a medical team working to resus a guy with terminal lung cancer.......now that was surely wrong, but to deny someone who is mentally sound but whose body is useless, fluids and nourishment is wrong too.
And I have to say Tealeaf, with the greatest respect, you cannot know how you would react if you were suddenly diagnosed with a terminal and life shortening condition.
May you never know!
