No care without consent?

"A landmine survivor has spoken out at a UN meeting against proposals to deny medical care to disabled people," SPUC reports in the Pro-Life Times, March 2005

"A new convention intended to enhance the rights of disabled people is being used by the EU to argue for a ban on 'forced medical interventions' which could include life-saving medical care for people who cannot consent to treatment because they are unconscious or disabled."

This fits in well with the Judgment in the Appeal Court is Leslie Burke's case. (He only has a right to food and water as long as he is able to communicate.)
