I meant I cannot know their intentions, then asked a question about their intentions withdrawing nutrients.
Why should they keep the nutrients if they thought he would die in one day or two? As I said in a previous post I think that people close to dying do not need food. Too bad we don't have a doctor to help us on this discussion, it would be great to get a professional opinion.
Not a doctor but have been involved in this stuff more times than I care to count and I have tried to explain this countless times but it feels like smashing my head against a brick wall.
People are not starved to death to facilitate death rather it just reaches a point at whitch there is no benefit and nutritional support is withdrawn. If you have terminal cancer and at the end of your life nutrition is withdrawn it’s not starvation that kills you it’s just the disease process.
and is that joke about dental hygiene from the 18 hundreds, really topical!!
send in the troops to storm a hospital full of sick children, I'm sure that will fix everything right up,

Yes, namely will save the life of one Alfie Evans. Besides, we all know what happens with the Brits meet/met United States Marines.
Sorry, but don't expect me to pull any punches for a government that believes it has the right to writ the death of an innocent child, along with a population that aides and abets these numerous crimes against humanity.
Distasteful jokes aside, you truly believe these sick individuals deserve compassion or kindness?
Alfie's healthcare/future is the choice of his parents. Sure, the State can have their opinion. Their doctor(s) can also have their opinions. But at the end of the day, a child's parents are solely responsible for them. Period.
A State that believes it holds the keys to life and death is a terrifying prospect. Totally unacceptable.
To a government that believes it owns its subjects, and can dictate everything from their personal privacy (which according to them you don't need) to life & death.

What about this doesn't make sense?

Are you disputing the accuracy of my statement? Otherwise, it is your reply that makes no sense and makes clear your intent to deflect/distract instead of facing the question head on. Up to you, but running away from a question only provides further validation.
If your argument can't stand up to scrutiny, perhaps it is time to get a new argument?

So you can use military-grade encryption? You have the *right* to hide things from the government/law enforcement? Right?
If your child is ill, you have the *right* to seek care as you see fit? Even if a non-parent (like a doctor) disagrees?
Surely you have the right to defend yourselves and your homes against intruders? With deadly force?
How about privacy against "hacking" and other mass-surveillance?
Surely you still have free speech? Don't you? Folks would *NEVER* be locked up for simple racial slurs/other speech you may find distasteful?
What if you oppose a specific religion on religious grounds? The government/law enforcement would *never* infringe on your beliefs to protect someone else, right?
Of course not. Doing even one of those things means you and your fellow Brits are SUBJECTS not CITIZENS

I'm probably the only Brit on ATS to say it, but while the Italian doctors offered EU regulated and legal continuing care I disagree with the judge removing freedom of movement rights.
