Antonia Tully, in SPUC’s Pro-Life Times of March 07, describes the effect of the Mental Capacity Act on nursing.
“ ‘During the past couple of years, I’ve seen euthanasia snowballing on the ward I was in.’ These are the words of a nurse working in a stroke rehabilitation ward in our NHS hospital. ‘Many patients coming into the ward are left unable to swallow and often unable to talk, after the stroke. Letting patients die from lack of fluid and food is a common occurrence here.’ ”
Britain’s hospitals’ poor record of recovery from stroke is well-known.
