FoxNews.com - Canadian Family in Life Support Battle Denied Request for Hospital Transfer
So with nationalized healthcare, a judge gets to make the decisions about the medical care for your children.
Hmmm. I think I'll pass. Kinda sounds like one of those "death panels".
Canadian health care allocation officials already ruled that Joseph had to be taken off life support and allowed to die in the hospital. A Canadian judge then ruled that Maraachli had to give his consent to having the breathing tube removed by Monday. He refused.
Maraachli says turning off life support could cause his son to choke and suffocate. He told Fox News on Wednesday that the doctors at London Health Sciences Centre have said the “best treatment” is to “let him die… I don’t know what kind of treatment that [is].”
