And the difference would be?

Full Title: Now sick babies go on death pathway: Doctor's haunting testimony reveals how children are put on end-of-life plan
Sick children are being discharged from NHS hospitals to die at home or in hospices on controversial ‘death pathways’.Until now, end of life regime the Liverpool Care Pathway was thought to have involved only elderly and terminally-ill adults.
But the Mail can reveal the practice of withdrawing food and fluid by tube is being used on young patients as well as severely disabled newborn babies.
One doctor has admitted starving and dehydrating ten babies to death in the neonatal unit of one hospital alone.
Writing in a leading medical journal, the physician revealed the process can take an average of ten days during which a baby becomes ‘smaller and shrunken’.
The investigation, which will include child patients, will look at whether cash payments to hospitals to hit death pathway targets have influenced doctors’ decisions.
Medical critics of the LCP insist it is impossible to say when a patient will die and as a result the LCP death becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They say it is a form of euthanasia, used to clear hospital beds and save the NHS money.

Apparently they already kill over 100-130,000 old people a year by denial of care.
I’ve read the entire AVMA manual on euthanizing animals. Inhumane methods of euthanization are not authorized; the goal is for the animal to die without suffering.
Apparently, it doesn’t matter if human beings suffer.
What kind of society is it that has more concern for animals than for humans?
That is just plain evil. There’s no other way to describe it.
All hail Moloch!
I’m trying to think of something funny to say but this is too disturbing.
Libs would be glad to murder the babies with an injection and forego the starvation road to death. As long as they gett to expand their hunting grounds to murder more innocent people, they are happy. They are murdering the eldery and handicapped in England without consequence, too.
We need to have some people step forward and make these doctors and nurses afraid to play this eugenics Nazi game on the the public they are supposed to care for - not murder. If there is no justice in the government, it has to be street justice that stops them. They have no conscience like normal people. They are like predatory animals.
Coming to an America near you soon.
Can anybody cue a pic of Sebelius as the grim reaper?
....... "Now sick (Insert extreme health cost category) go on death pathway"
There fixed it!!! .... If this wasn't so serious and absolutely predictable ..... I would actually laugh. But sadly .... unless you will be a cost effective member of society .... you will be put on the "Back List" ...... "Non Priority" list ...... "Less Effective List" .... or as some would call it ... "Termination List" .... or as realists might call it .... "DEATH LIST."
But sadly ... as of 11-06-12 there is no such thing......
... Perhaps in the future there might be some that realize that ... elections have consequences.... And so I say ..... For those that didn't vote in the last election for moral and perhaps strategic reasons ... even though the fate of the Nation and... yes ... perhaps even the fate of the remaining free world needed you most ...... "We who are about to die .... SPIT on you" .... and WHEN your time comes .... "Spit on yourselves and pray for someone to deliver you.' .... Because very few were there for us.
**One doctor has admitted starving and dehydrating ten babies to death in the neonatal unit of one hospital alone.**
I don’t think this doctor will like God’s verdict at the moment of his death!
To, of course, create the giant fig leaf “oh, it’s not KILLING!”
Well hell yes it’s KILLING!
If you are over 70 and get sick, Barry the Joker will mail
you your medicine with this simple instruction...
“Take one of the two black pills. ...If you wake up, take the
other”
That’s his death pathway.
Socialism is pure unadulterated EVIL.
The New Nazis.
It’s one of George Soros’s “special” global projects; coming soon to a town near you.

This is just ridiculous. I don’t understand why, if you’re going to let them die anyway, why string it out. Just bring a machete to work and save them the agony of a dehydration-death.
And the difference would be?
First the abortion, then the euthanasia, then the eugenics. We’ve been saying it all along, but they kept saying we were nutjobs. Who’s nuts now?
Oh yeah, just in case the libs are paying attention now, it doesn’t stop with the eugenics. Next up: re-education of dissidents, internment, forced labor, and extermination. Are you prepared to go along with that too, or are you ready to get off the crazy train at this stop?
He who has the gold makes the rules. Decisions that should be made by families in consultation with their doctors end up being made by bureaucrats following government rulebooks.
