'NHS could save cash' by letting patients die
By Sophie Kirkham

THE most seriously ill NHS patients should be allowed to die so that the money spent on them can be better used elsewhere, the Health Department is expected to tell the Court of Appeal in a test case.

Leslie had lived through his own country's 'allowing' someone to die without food and water in 1992 just as WE had here, through Nancy Cruzan's Dec, 90 death by dehydration/starvation, just ten monts after Terri had collapsed in Feb, 90.

This thinking is becoming more pervasive.... costs too much to let them live... they are better off dead than living this way...

Every disabled person is in danger, every person living in a nursing home/rehab center. All of our developmentally disabled who need help .... and any one of us could someday be... one of those disabled...and cost someone too much money....
