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.
And what please?
Someone needs to redirect a little care Dr. Singh’s way.
Actually, the Nazis would have been a bit more humane, in that they’d have quickly drugged him or gassed him, instead of “humanely” starving and dehydrating him. I remember an old Disney movie, I think it was “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” where there’s a scene in the wicked queen’s dungeon of a skeleton, locked in a cell, and desperately reaching out for a pitcher of water, sadistically placed just beyond his reach. That’s Alfie’s “humane” death.
Horrors like this are just what the Brits heroically fought, bled, sacrificed, and died to prevent in WW II.

“There is no death panel - we specialize in the humane stamping out of innocent life.....”
G-D damn nazi!!!
Someone needs to deny Singh food, water, & oxygen for a while. I suspect that would make him very uncomfortable, very quickly.
The truth is: Foreigners have a different value system & do not value life like the Judeo-Christian West.
Amen
Murder
