Melvyn asks who has the right to rule on the withdrawl of medical treatment?

Hello, it’s Melvyn here. It’s seven in the morning , been up a couple of hours sitting with my dogs, well one of them anyway my Tally. Very very concerned about this judge who’s decided you can withdraw treatment from patients in permanent vegetative state. Now that also means people that are in a state of, it could be, infectious, because you’re delirious, got a knock on the head, and it’ll be easier for them to withdraw food and liquid. It’s going to mean absolute mayhem and regardless of whether doctors and the people nearest them think, talk about it, they’ll be persuaded, no doubt, to allow it to go ahead. How horrendous is that? This judge has given people the right to stop giving patients food, legally, and water and has said “when families and doctors are in agreement”. How often does that happen? Because I can remember occasions when my wife had a water infection and was delirious and wasn’t able to converse. So they’ll be able to remove feeding tubes without applying to a court [inaudible]. It happened to be a lady judge, as well, and it says “Lady Black ruled there was no violation under the Human Rights Convention”. There’s probably nothing covering it, that’s why. How horrendous is she? She cannot do that, she cannot make that decision on her own. That must be done via legislation not by just one judge. I sometimes question these judges who are 70, 80 years old and I can’t quite be sure that this lady’s in her right mind. Thank you, bye.
