It’s come to this

Sick children are being discharged from NHS hospitals to die at home or in hospices on controversial ‘death pathways’.

Until now, end of life regime the Liverpool Care Pathway was thought to have involved only elderly and terminally-ill adults.

But the Mail can reveal the practice of withdrawing food and fluid by tube is being used on young patients as well as severely disabled newborn babies.

One doctor has admitted starving and dehydrating ten babies to death in the neonatal unit of one hospital alone.

Horrific. Barbaric.

‘I know, as they cannot, the unique horror of witnessing a child become smaller and shrunken, as the only route out of a life that has become excruciating to the patient or to the parents who love their baby.’

This reminds me of the pictures of Auschwitz victims. Isn’t eugenics grand?

I may have missed, but I didn’t see anything that this “doctor” who killed ten babies is being prosecuted for murder. He admitted it in print, so he should be sitting in jail right now!

My God.

My God. My God. My God.

Forgive us.

Yeah. And now I think I will go pound my fist through a wall in an effort to contain my rage.

This effing jackass is a doctor, he would know just how awful it is for anyone, much less a baby, to die of starvation and dehydration and yet he assisted such atrocities.

Bring this to America and more than just babies are going to die, the people who support and enable it will to; we aren’t passive British cowards.

Thank you. I’m sitting here in my office with tears in my eyes, and your post made me feel a little better.

Why should the terminally ill be kept alive artificially?

The soulless ghouls are showing up in force.

This sent shivers through my body…imagine, witnessing starving your child to death…I almost can’t believe it, but then, how many babies are pulled out of the womb and left to die because the woman doesn’t want to be inconvenienced…I know a hundred years from now we will be looked upon as savages, not unlike we look at Aztec’s for their rituals.

I’ve had the same exact thought…

“In the ‘advanced’ Western nations it became acceptable for mothers to murder their children. Not because they were unable to care for them; but rather, the children were seen as an inconvenience.”

Why don’t those parents just put a bullet in the back of those babies’ heads? Too violent? Just a tad too far? Can’t find a gun in England? Intentionally withdrawing food and water from a baby is killing it just like shooting it is.
