GPs have been asked to select one in every 100 of their patients to go on a list of those likely to die over the next 12 months.
The patients will be singled out for ‘end-of-life care’, potentially saving the NHS more than £1billion a year.
My, how the vulnerable are slowly being targetted. This reminds me of a philosophical thought and ethical experiment. Would you vote for a person who had the power and wisdom to fulfil all the nations dreams except there was one criterion : that person could kill one person during his reign? Perhaps my thought experiment is becoming more real.
"We can save billions of the NHS if we help 1% of people die each year. Please vote for us."
Voting for a party is no longer about honesty, intergity, human sacredness, protecting the vulnerable. It is about pragmatism, popularity, competing ideas, majority at expense of the vulnerable.
