Well I object' My grandad had food and fluids removed by his doctor and we never found out till a week later when he was dying.
If they want to end a life then at least have the guts to end it quick.
Any doctor that removes food and fluid from any of my family, I can guarantee you now that doctor will join them.
I have right on my side,

This happens because doctors are not allowed to euthanize in most countries. If they do they would most likely loose their jobs etc. Its sad, and shouldn't be happening but often there is probably not any other option. Until the world opens up to ideas of euthanasia for certain cases like these, this will continue to happen.
Edit - Most these babies - if kept alive would have to pretty much live in hospital, and if all of them were kept alive there would be no room in left in any neonatal wards.
My girlfriend is a Dr and has worked in many pediatric and neonatal wards, so I have heard lots of stories. It is quite disappointing when people constantly attack doctors - especially in situations like these. It honeslty must be one of the toughest jobs and so many people just take the access to hospitals and doctors for granted.edit on 20-2-2013 by homeslice because: (no reason given)

That's horrible. Why were you not informed?

Agreed.

If it is without your knowledge and consent, then I tend to agree. That is, unless he had a living will which states he wanted differently.

post·na·tal (pst-ntl)
adj.
Of or occurring after birth, especially during the period immediately after birth
1. (Medicine / Gynaecology & Obstetrics) an operation or other procedure to terminate pregnancy before the fetus is viable
Every single person born in this world is here for a reason. And sometimes the lessons aren't ours, but meant to impact others, and make them less selfish. Murder is murder no matter what condition a person has.edit on 20-2-2013 by Unity_99 because: (no reason given)
