Now sick babies go on death pathway: Doctor's haunting testimony

Full Title: Now sick babies go on death pathway: Doctor's haunting testimony reveals how children are put on end-of-life plan

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.

Writing in a leading medical journal, the physician revealed the process can take an average of ten days during which a baby becomes ‘smaller and shrunken’.

The investigation, which will include child patients, will look at whether cash payments to hospitals to hit death pathway targets have influenced doctors’ decisions.

Medical critics of the LCP insist it is impossible to say when a patient will die and as a result the LCP death becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They say it is a form of euthanasia, used to clear hospital beds and save the NHS money.

" I don’t understand why, if you’re going to let them die anyway, why string it out. Just bring a machete to work and save them the agony of a dehydration-death."

I have a modest proposal. I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration that of the hundred and twenty thousand children already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one-fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle or swine; and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

Is everyone clear on this?

The Left wants to eliminate us because we question their insanity. If they could detect us in the womb, we would be aborted without hesitation. If there was a gene for conservatism, they would screen for it.

Hope my fellow "Baby Boomers" are paying attention, particularly all of the soft headed radicals on the left.

Thus begins the harvest of what was sown in the 1960's.

“That is just plain evil. There’s no other way to describe it.”

We are building our “master race”; the Axis lost WWII but the Nazis won. My father commented on the difference between the number of midgets/dwarfs you would see when he was younger to their near-total absence today; same idea.

A guy I know is a little person with a little person wife and little person daughter. The catch is that the daughter has common complications and needed extensive surgery at a young age. With good private insurance it is doable. Under the socialist plan she would simply suffer and die young.

Is there any way we could treat these doctors to a Luger Care Pathway?

Coming to an America near you soon.

Except that here, as the federal goverment is wont to do, it will be guided by "social justice" policies designed to "remedy societal racial and ethnic disparities".

Apparently they already kill over 100-130,000 old people a year by denial of care.

Mostly old white folks, I'm sure. We have to make way for the "colorful" generation. Coming soon to a hospital near you.

“We are building our “master race”; the Axis lost WWII but the Nazis won.”

Agreed. What most Americans don't realize is that in WWII we defeated fascism militarily but did not defeat it as an ideology —fascism continues to live on.

Althogh I agree with your larger point, modern American midgets self-segregate. They live in partially self-sufficient communities scattered around the country. Unless you live very near one of their communities, you will rarely meet them. They have a huge community somewhere in Fairfax County, VA, so I occasionally met midgets when I lived there. But I've met none in Maryland.

Deaf people do the same thing. I work right around the corner from one of the largest schools for the deaf in America, but you hardly ever meet them on the street or in the stores. I'm told they have their own shops, restaurants and housing developments.

The New Nazis.

Same as the old Nazis. But at least the old Nazis had cool uniforms and high grooming standards. The new ones look flabby in their cheap suits with their bad skin and bad hair.

I see your point but that post was really disturbing. Truly.
