Q.EI01
THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SAYS THAT DOCTORS MAY WITHHOLD TUBE FEEDING
AND HYDRATION FROM PATIENTS SUCH AS VICTIMS OF A STROKE , WHO ARE NOT DYING
BUT MIGHT BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED. THIS WOULD MAKE THEM DIE FOR LACK OF
FLUID. SOME OTHER DOCTORS' GROUPS DISAGREE WITH THE BMA.
DO YOU THINK DOCTORS SHOULD HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO WITHHOLD FOOD AND FLUIDS?
