No "right to life"

In this british case, the patient doesn't have the RIGHT not to be starved to death by removing a feeding tube...the British courts say it's the doctor's right to decide....

The 45-year-old is suffering the degenerative brain condition cerebellar ataxia.

He feared GMC rules on artificial nutrition might allow his wishes to be overruled.

Since I have treated several patients with cerebellar ataxia, this is worrysome..you see they lose coordination/ability to swallow and speak but are normal in their mental abilities...
