Baroness Warnock: Dementia sufferers may have a 'duty to die'
BTW, I love your tagline :)
Dame Warnock believes that the demented should either want to die or they should feel guilty. She obviously doesn’t understand “dementia.”
She is probably the inspiration for these two - who evidently were recorded as they conspired to let the man die and then to lie about what they found when they got there.

“They are said to have discussed what to tell ambulance control and decided to say that Mr Baker was already dead when they got there.”
(I blogged on the Dame in September, http://www.lifeethics.org/www.lifeethics.org/2008/09/demented-should-want-to-die-or-feel.html )
(And I stole my tag line from the author of an editorial who said that the line described Pope Benedict.)
