Neither of them was working, so the state was paying for both of them to consume his 10k calories a day. Reply to this message | Report message

"so the state was paying for both of them to consume his 10k calories a day" They should cremate him in the local power station. All that lard could power a small town for a couple of days. Reply to this message | Report message

980lb., nearly half a ton. Bed sores and things. The cat couldn't possibly stand, a human frame couldn't bear that weight. Looks very unusual, well outside what one thinks of as 'norms'. Surely such an extreme condition could have been avoided Lygonos? What's a xylophone ribcage? Reply to this message | Report message

And there is the moral and legal question. If you are a carer do you have a right to deny food to an adult who requests it even if they do not need the food ? I rather suspect that you would require a court order and if the person in question is deemed capable of making a decision for himself I can't see such a court order being granted.

"I would suggest that a carer has primary responsibility for care, health and wellbeing." Possibly but legally I suspect that a person of sound mind who is immobile is entitled to eat what they want even if is killing them. Would a carer for example be entitled to deny a lung cancer sufferer cigarettes if that is what the person wanted? Freedom includes the freedom to act in a foolish way or in a manner dangerous to yourself and carers are not prison guards. Reply to this message | Report message

>> I would suggest that a carer has primary responsibility for care, health and wellbeing> Well you get an 18 yo roll up smoking 'carer' to make that decision when they are enslaved to a Boss that is enslaved to an under funded system and I'll sit back and take notes.

>> No more than a miserable fat guy's family does. Not significantly less either. Having a sick dying child must be painful even for a Tory politician don't you think? Perhaps Tory politicians don't feel pain. But their wives probably do. Reply to this message | Report message

Have you informed your GP of your wish MD? I'm sure you'd much prefer that if ever you have a time of need, the carers get sent instead to someone who appreciates them. Reply to this message | Report message

>> >> Clearly the guy had problems and so is surely to be pitied rather than mocked? Yes. He's an exceptional case with an exceptional pathology. Not many people have the physique to survive for long in that sort of state. It's far from enviable. One would much rather be dead, even at 44. I'd love to see photos of him at 22 and 33. Prurient and scientistic of me I know. Reply to this message | Report message       2
