It is the thin edge of the wedge, what happened to this young woman was horrific they removed the agency she had over her own body and she was put in a position that she had to fight for permission to control her own life, in the end the NHS and court refused while at the same time attacking her mental health. This must have given her great stress and mental anguish at the end. Shame on all who took away what was left of this young woman's autonomy. As for the term palliative care it should never involve taking away food and fluids to hasten death if the individual is capable of doing both.
The “Authorities” are setting precedents that individual sovereignty is gone & the “State” is in charge of ALL aspects of your living including your “Life”. These cases are assessing public tolerance for totalitarianism. Where were millions of parents advocating parents rights or human rights in the streets ? Nothing happened . We All Took it
It seems odd that the NHS is put so much effort into stopping someone being treated elsewhere. You have to question whether it’s really the patients they are trying to protect. If the patient is saved by some new expensive treatment it is inevitable that other patients with the same condition would demand the nhs provide that treatment. Perhaps it’s just my suspicious mind.

Very well argued. The NHS is in giant overreach.
