Maeve Boothby O'Neill - articles about her life, death and inquest

Probably best to ask @dave30th.
Online view was generally restricted to the coroner, or others speaking.
IIRC it was mainly Dave, other press, local and national and Jenny Wislon came with Dr Weir when he gave his evidence.

 

I don’t have a medical or eugenicist education. So I innately know this. For all my faults I am not evil I don’t think, so I wouldn’t wish to dehydrate anyone to death.

It is a real shame that medical professionals needed to keep on and do this for a long time. Then had to have a review to tell them it’s best not to torcher their dying patients.

You can see why disabled people might have a difficult time persuading medical professionals of this ideological position to keep us alive to treat to alleviate our suffering and help us thrive.

Maybe this examination of feeding and non feeding in health care leads to the heart and stomach of the non treatment paradigm. Maybe this is where we should focus our attention from now onwards.
