    Poor little boy. It's hard to get your head round the 'best interests of the child' being to let him die but I'm not suggesting any malevolence on the part of the hospital. I know if it was my son I'd want him to stay alive as long as possible even if it were hopeless.

    How many wholly curable children's lives are you prepared to sacrifice for the slightly extended, but not happy life of your own? Because in a world of limited resource, that is the decision you have to make; a futile extension to your child's life or the meaningful saving of the life of another.

    This will of course just get worse over time; this is just the start of it.

    Power without responsibility (including ME of course).

    With Hyde Park corner one knew where one stood, usually in front of a nutter on a soapbox.
