The UK National ‘Health Service (NHS) is introducing a policy of withdrawing food, fluid and treatment once the close-to-death judgement has been made to put them on what they call the ‘death pathway’.The patient is also fed ...sedative drugs continually until death which can mask the fact that their state of health has improved.

As if they havent tried everything to flog this dead NHS horse. Now they have a 'brilliant' idea of saving money in shortening patients lives in this way. The new policy will hit the elderley the hardest. We are the only country to start doing this in the world being dictated to in this somewhat inhumane way!
