People with learning disabilities have been given do not resuscitate orders during the second wave of the pandemic, in spite of widespread condemnation of the practice last year and an urgent investigation by the care watchdog.
Mencap said it had received reports in January from people with learning disabilities that they had been told they would not be resuscitated if they were taken ill with Covid-19.
This is a feature not a bug, I have witnessed the callousness of our own medical bureaucracy.
Pray you don’t become an undesirable cost.
The language of our bureaucracy is chilling; Dying is referred to as “transitioning” due to “life limiting causes.”
Starvation is called “Allowing nature to take it’s course.”
If you decline an assisted death they will offer a sleep drug which will accomplish the same thing, just a little more slowly.
