Death By Starvation And Dehydration - For The Sake Of "Dignity" And "Choice"

Unfortunately that's the reality in the culture where human life has been devalued:

It might be called differently, like "the right to die" or "dying with dignity", but where do you see dignity, let alone rights?

Up to 60,000 patients die on the Liverpool Care Pathway each year without giving their consent, shocking figures revealed yesterday.

And now, brace yourself for this: UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the death pathway was a 'fantastic step forward'. This is how a poor-choice mind works. I wonder what makes him so sure that he won't be the one left to die without food and water some day in the not so distant future...
