This is to be expected from the UK, where you can get locked up just for having Asperger's.

am afraid the practice of Eugenics has been coming back i fear . if this thread is any indication
it gets to be beyond sad, it is criminal in my opinion. It harkens back to my thought about having to die at the hands of these criminals and strangers . Or in a place of your choosing in the comfort of your own choosing . This type of stuff just makes me feel crazy . :roll:

I mentioned this in Quora and was shouted down and insulted about it. Like usual, nt's believe nothing they don't already believe.

I did always think it was individuals who specifically gave 'do not resuscitate' orders for themselves, not that they get sentenced to do not resuscitate orders just for having a learning disability. Like was this negligence or intentional?

Either way if this was intentional or a oversight..... it feels criminal in nature .
i always thought DNR orders ( Do not resusitate). were normally only authorised by family
or the individual themselves .
