FULL TITLE: NHS Doctor: Starving Alfie Evans to Death ‘Is Not the Killing of A Child,’ It’s Just ‘Redirecting Care’

Forcing 23 month-old Alfie Evans to die by starvation “is not killing,” Dr. Ranj Singh argued on U.K.’s “This Morning” ITV program Friday, Express reports.

Withdrawing life-support and refusing to allow Alfie’s parents to take him home, feed and care for him, is, instead merely “redirecting care,” Dr. Singh said:

“This is not the killing of a child - this is redirecting care to make them more comfortable.”

In Alfie’s case, redirecting care to make him “more comfortable” means denying him food, water and life support. Dr. Singh doubled down on his claim, framing the withdrawal of life support as a way to make patients more comfortable and give them "the most dignifying life”:

“Withdrawing life support is not killing someone. It is redirecting care to make them more comfortable and give them the most dignifying life that you can.”

Dr. Singh also said pro-life Alfie supporters outside the Alder Hey Hospital protesting to save Alfie’s life are behaving “disgustingly”:

“There’s a small proportion who have - I will say it - behaved disgustingly.”

Dr. Singh is a clinical technician who works for the U.K.’s government-run health care system, National Health Service (NHS), which fought, and won, in court to end Alfie’s life.

There’s some really sick and twisted people in the medical profession. This freak makes Mengele look like Mother Theresa.

Be honest. Kill him outright you murderers. Starvation is just more cruelty.

Bad things happen when governments pretend:

The U.S. government pretended that black people weren’t fully human and allowed legalized slavery to continue.

The German government pretended that Jewish people weren’t fully human and the result was the Holocaust.

Many governments pretend that preborn people aren’t fully human and the result is millions and millions of human deaths from abortions.

Many governments are pretending that homosexuality is normal and the result is endless problems.

Now the NHS is pretending that Alfie Evans is not fully human and they have, effectively, kidnapped him.

We have an awful lot of foreign doctors here.

Now I wonder if it is to lay groundwork for a plan.

Human life is cheap where they come from.

If you are referring to the 3/5 of a vote compromise in the Constitution, you are misinformed.

That was a compromise to limit the power of the slave states.

The slaves might never have been freed without it, because the slave states would have had more votes to fight the North with.

This guy is a television personality in the UK, and appears to be more of a personality than a physician. I'm always very, very leery of physicians who go ‘Hollywood’, just like I am of physicians who become full-time administrators, or big time activists in the AMA etc. They generally tend to be the people who make it more difficult for other physicians to deliver good medical care.

England is close to being lost. I’m hoping the stoic, strong willed Brits will rise up and take their country back before it’s too late.

Brittan was lost two generations ago.

What is lost (as a Nation) cannot be regained.

Dr. Ranj Singh, you look uncomfortable. We are here to take you to a place where we will make you more uncomfortable. We are going to sedate you and starve you.

Because of karma. There are no free passes in the Hindu or Buddhist world view.

I will use this when I have to kill someone. I just redirected care to make them comfortable.

If Dr. Singh’s patient hadn’t been a little white English boy, would we have seen a different outcome?

This is making me sick.
