Brady And His "right To Die" Action

[meglet]

As far as I can tell, the general feeling amongst the British public is that Brady should be kept where he is and force fed until he dies of natural causes - precisely because that is what he doesn't want.

Forgetting the cost, isn't the fact that Brady is so desperate about his pitiful existence show that keeping killer like him locked up is preferable to capital punishment?

This man is pure evil. He has had plenty of time to say that he is sorry for his sins but he still maintains his innocence.

I do not and will never support capital punishment, but this ghastly man should be kept in a secure mental health hospital, force fed if necessary until he dies. Apparently he really dislikes Ashworth...well I feel no sympathy whatsoever.

I've been thinking about this, and decided I don't really care too much one way or the other. I'd be happy for him to starve to death or go on being force fed indefinately.

[sara3]

I don't think he deserves to be calling the shots on anything. he's there as a "punishment" and he should shut up and get on with it.

[meglet]

Just seemed odd to me that the "hang 'em high" brigade seem to have totally changed their tune in his case. And can't seem to see that one of the many reasons why people oppose capital punishment might be because the prisoner would end up in just such a pitiful state.

[ludwig]

There are two things you're not taking into account meglet.

1) The 'hang em high brigade' are not necessarily interested in seeing the maximum amount of suffering being inflicted on the criminal.

2) Brady wants to die, but others like him may be quite happy to live out their days in prison, in which case your desire to see them reduced to a pitiful existence wouldn't be fulfilled.

Brady dies ? good riddance

[emmie]

give him his wish as long as he tells the police where Keith Bennett is buried, and if he does and it is him, then let him die.

[pusskin]

let the monster carry on being force fed. Its not want he wants, but none of the families that he murdered got what they wanted either. Evil man!

Why should we let a monster like Brady die when we will not afford the same courtesy to those dying from cancer and other horrific terminal diseases?

[josaphine32]

I agree with em......but how are they force feeding him? If it is a stomach peg why has he not pulled it out? How are they doing it?

[emmie]

he has a tube up through his nose down to the stomach, he has been like this for at least 11 years, ever since he went on hunger strike. The artists sketches of him show him like this.

[vodkancoke]

I think they should leave him where he is and give him exactly what he doesn't want. All he wants is control, even from where he is! The fact he won't say where Keith is proves he still has control. He knows where he is, he and that evil cow of a sidekick had no remorse in what they did. I think I read in yesterday's paper, he regarded their crimes as "petty".....really?? He's insane, leave him with his demons and voices. I hope they plague him until he draws his last breath.

[josaphine32]

But if you want to die, would you not try to pull it out or try to dislodge it, if I was hell bent on dying then you would try anything, your stomach can only cope with so much scar tissue, I think personally that he is very clever and manipulative,
