Also in many countries, they wouldn't have the money to keep up the treatment either. Would there be an issue if there was no government healthcare and the ability to keep someone alive was based on your chequebook and charity from others? If the state shouldn't be allowed to make this decision what determining factors should there be? If the NHS was a fully private system that had no taxpayer contributions would this story have hit the headlines at all? He'd be in Italy now and they could use whatever machinery they pleased to kick around this political football. That' it Chris, the Pope only cares because it' in the media and wants to make the noncey church look better Link to post Share on other sites

Do you believe people with a terminal illness suffering in pain should be kept alive at all costs or given the option to slip away peacefully? It's disgusting how my grandmother was allowed to suffer until she was a breathing corpse just before she passed away, if i had the choice she would have been euthanized rather than suffer till the end.

scothunter 12,609 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Family of Jehovah's up here let there kid die when's transfusion could have saved him. That's actually a good point guess the courts are just as bad at hypocrisy they ought to have stepped in and made a court order. Religious beliefs must be honoured eh total nonsense. Incidentally the Dr who was in charge of that case was reprimanded cause he called the parents"selfish f***ing idiot's" . 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You have answered your own question with the “given a choice” line mate.......the point is, in this case, the parents are not being given a choice. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I wasn't comparing in fact it's actually got me thinking why if one case warranted over ruling the parents wishes why this wasn't if the courts are basing it on the best interests of the child. Tbh I don't really know how old the kid was or if he was suffering. Or if it's just religious shit takes precedence. But surely if a life could be saved as easy as a transfusion then it should have been done. But then a lot of you are all for parents wishes and rights and no interference from the state. Need to ask someone. How old this kid was.but in Pretty sure he was young I know folk in the village don't speak to them after it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,034 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 What I'm struggling with is if the NHS is "already paid for" and "awash with cash" the doctors must all be sadists who just like watching kiddies die, I'll bet they're all rubbing their hands together with glee at the thought of it, the b*stards. Meanwhile in the real world.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
