I remember my grandparents being afraid of going into hospital in case they did not come out again and their distrust of doctors. Things have now gone full circle. I little dreamt that 50 years later I, and others of my generation, would have the same dread of being hospitalised. What future can we expect for the vulnerable members of our society, both young and old, if life saving decisions are based on the criteria of age and/or a person's perceived usefulness to society? Underlying all of this, of course, is the inducement of financial reward for those institutions which make the 'correct' decision to follow the Liverpool Care Pathway. I think that the decision makers should think long and hard about the society they are creating by this attitude to healthcare and ultimately how this will impact them should they reach my age.

The miracle of life, the sanctity and dignity of every human person should be valued, cherished and respected till the last natural breath. Let's always make a person feel loved and as comfortable as possible of course, using drugs if necessary, but everyone deserves to be allowed a natural death. Miracles do happen! It is not the rite of any human being to stand in the way of that possibility, either for themselves or for anyone else. We are created by Love, born for Love, to live in Love and to die in Love. We should become more dependent on the tenderness of God rather than on our own flawed judgement. No one can play at being God without serious consequences all round. For God's sake and ours, let God be God!!!

I have also seen how easily staff may wrongly interpret the value of life and experienced this with an aunt whose fluids were nearly stopped as she was documented as having a poor quality of life -three years later she is very glad to be alive and fully alert in mind and involved with all the family. I am very concerned at the potential misuse of the pathway and the fact that physical fraility can so easily be misinterpreted - especially as elderly can be seen as 'not worthwhile'.

I was very uneasy about a friend's husband who had a stroke, having food and hydration withdrawn at the suggestion of his GP. Although he had no speech, when I sang to him his breathing changed. He was listening.
I believe in the sanctity of life, and the need to consult the patient and relatives where possible. Palliative care should support those in terminal distress for the good of the patient. Good medical care, with compassion as is found in our Hospices, is the best bulwark against abuse of vulnerable people of any age.
Staff in hospitals and care homes need good training in end of life care.
Government may need to raise taxes to ensure there are enough well trained staff, especially nurses, in the NHS.
I appreciate the NHS and do my best to encourage staff members in community health care and hospitals. They need our support in providing good care.
