Ian Brady (Moors murderer) wants to die, should he be allowed to?

[RATTER15]

I didnt realise that he is being tube fed since being on hunger strike 12 years ago.

Im a little surprised they are permitted to feed him by tube, claiming his insanity, im sure they are acting within the law but I really dont know how!

he dies when we, the people and the authorities decide he has been punished enough .. not when he wants to

[Duncer]

I say let him die, and for two main reasons.

I believe he is too old to remember where the body is, even if he wanted to, so that reason for keeping him alive is removed. I also believe that he revels in the notoriety so we could save the taxpayer in the region of £70,000 a year by extinguishing this obnoxious excuse for a human being.

I say leave well alone, he will die before long, and no one will mourn him.

Let the Basd rot, he did not have much thought for the children did he?

[bluemoon1]

Having a tube stuck up his nose every day for the rest of his life is not a fraction of the suffering he brought to those poor little children. Leave him where he is and as to the original question, yes it is a legal obligation

he won't be moved to a jail, and will succumb to some ailment probably sooner than later.
