What about sick old people?
Church of England says it's ok to leave sick newborns to die.

For that matter, what about Terri Schiavo?

Posted by: vincent at November 15, 2006 02:53 AMShouldn't that be "Bishop in Church of England"? Anyways, the report doesn't apply to newborns - only to the severely premature to the extent that matters to you. And if, for instance, a baby is born prematurely at 22 weeks (the cutoff for the report) without kidneys, I would say that yes it is ok to let the newborn die rather than keeping the baby alive as long as possible with a kidney dialysis machine for what would be a very short, very painful life.

Posted by: Mark Poling at November 15, 2006 12:06 PMOnce again, an article from the most rabid of the British tabloids. As I have mentioned, this is the paper which opposed the passage of jews fleeing from Nazi tyranny. Huge pinch of salt required with every story.
