The A-level schoolgirl from Birmingham suffered from a rare degenerative disease and was fully conscious and able to communicate, repeatedly telling doctors that she did not want to die. However, last month a Court of Protection judge said that she lacked the capacity to make decisions about her treatment amid reporting restrictions preventing Sudiksha, her family and the NHS Trust and medics treating her, from being identified.
So she says she doesnt want to die, so they declare incompetent so that they can ignore her request not to die, then they are able to her name from the record so that it cannot be discussed.
I hear nothing butt bad news from the UK. I hope to never travel there as the weather seems awful too. George Orwell cpuld have never prwdicted what a world bongland would become.

She wanted to try an experimental treatment in the US but the reporting restrictions meant that her family couldn't launch a crowdfunding campaign.

As sad as it is, trying to raise $1.5M for some hail-Mary treatment was never going to have a happy ending.
Especially as she could have ended up in the placebo group anyway, lol.

There's no placebo groups anymore. The control is always people undergoing the current standard of care.

Well it seems like whatever experimental drug there is for this condition will beat the current "just kill them" standard of care

Wait, you have to pay to participate in the experiment? I can't believe Big Pharma has gotten so uber-capitalist.
