The Real Test of a Society is How It Treats Its Most Vulnerable Members

8/6/22 Guardian:

"Archie Battersbee, the 12-year-old boy whose parents fought a long-running legal battle to prevent his life support treatment from being removed, has died, his mother has said.

Speaking outside the Royal London hospital, Hollie Dance said he had “fought right until the very end”.

Speaking through tears, she said: “In sadness, Archie passed at 12.15pm today. I would just like to say I am the proudest mum in the world.

“He was such a beautiful little boy. He fought right until the very end and I am so proud to be his mum.”

“His stats remained completely stable for two hours until they completely removed ventilation and he went completely blue,” she said.

“There is absolutely nothing dignified about watching a family member or a child suffocate. No family should ever have to go through what we have been through – it is barbaric.”

When children including those not born, the developmentally delayed, the disabled, the elderly, the weak are simply lumps of flesh to be disposed of because your very humane health care system needs a bed, a society has gone fully pagan.

Such a society deserves neither respect, obedience, or taxes.  It is too much like T4 project.
