ELDERLY WOMAN GOT LIFE SUPPORT PULLED DUE TO AN EMAIL
GET PACKING, FOLKS
rt.com
>A judge has ruled that a 74-year-old Christian woman can be taken off of life support in the hospital because of an email she wrote more than four years ago after watching a TV show on dementia. The woman wrote a message to her daughter, saying: “Did you see that thing on dementia? Get the pillow ready if I get that way!”
>A judge from the Court of Protection ruled that the email amounted to a “significant” record of the women’s views on what should happen should she lose the ability to make decisions for herself, the Daily Mail reports. The woman slipped into a near-coma following a fall last year.
>Her daughter requested that the nutrition and hydration tubes that keep her alive should be withdrawn. These measures were opposed by the Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, nurses who have been caring for the woman, her sisters and other family members.
IT'S HAPPENING
Think a bit on what this means people!
>user makes a joke 5 years ago
>user goes to the hospital
>hospital can now terminate him on the grounds of willing it himself
What's the problem??
Maybe she meant "get the pillow ready" as she wanted to be extra comfortable and relaxed in her twilight years.
> dementia
> near-coma
> feeding-tube
> life-support
Seems unnatural to keep someone alive in this state. Not like it's going to get better.
>make a joke
>the state finds it as reason enough to kill you
...
Free pity parties for people that don't want to take care of the senile. What's the catch? Guess the legs can handle the white picket protestors. Yeah man she should fuck a leg!
This. I thought it meant "get a pillow to cry into" or something.
then I thought it meant "get a pillow to be comfy because youll have to wait for me to wake up".
>kill you
>take you off life support at the request of the Family
