When several doctors agree that there is no way to help improve the situation... i.e. brain death... after a suitable period of reflection and assessment...it makes sense to remove artificial means of prolonging life... in a publically funded system.

Families of course should be able to provide food, sustenance and natural care... or pay privately for the artificial measures to prolong the adjustment period.... or pay privately for further assessments and interventions.
You are aware that the alfie case was concerning the British government preventing the parents from privately paying?

Wasn't aware... haven't been following the case in any detail.
This is a problem with the public system...
In Canada we do not have private hospitals either... and very few private doctors... so paying privately is rarely an option...
Unless you take your loved one to the US...
Which brings you plenty of Canadian cash... because it happens relatively often.

Cato and Reason Magazine might as well be Pacifica Radio at this point
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session

Interesting way of saying:

"oh, I was wrong, what I said before doesn't actually apply at all to this"
