| Sick children are being discharged from NHS hospitals to die at home or in hospices on controversial ‘death pathways’. Until now, end of life regime the Liverpool Care Pathway was thought to have involved only elderly and terminally-ill adults. But the Mail can reveal the practice of withdrawing food and fluid by tube is being used on young patients as well as severely disabled newborn babies. One doctor has admitted starving and dehydrating ten babies to death in the neonatal unit of one hospital alone. Writing in a leading medical journal, the physician revealed the process can take an average of ten days during which a baby becomes ‘smaller and shrunken’. The investigation, which will include child patients, will look at whether cash payments to hospitals to hit death pathway targets have influenced doctors’ decisions. Medical critics of the LCP insist it is impossible to say when a patient will die and as a result the LCP death becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They say it is a form of euthanasia, used to clear hospital beds and save the NHS money. The use of end of life care methods on disabled newborn babies was revealed in the doctors’ bible, the British Medical Journal. Earlier this month, an un-named doctor wrote of the agony of watching the protracted deaths of babies. The doctor described one case of a baby born with ‘a lengthy list of unexpected congenital anomalies’, whose parents agreed to put it on the pathway. The doctor wrote: ‘They wish for their child to die quickly once the feeding and fluids are stopped. They wish for pneumonia. They wish for no suffering. They wish for no visible changes to their precious baby. ‘I witnessed a 14 year-old boy with cancer die with his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth when doctors refused to give him liquids by tube. His death was agonising for him, and for us nurses to watch. This is euthanasia by the backdoor.’ Read more: Now sick babies go on death pathway: Doctor's haunting testimony reveals how children are put on end-of-life plan | Mail Online Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

| Sometimes my brain wants to refuse to believe some things I read. If this is true; that is not end of life, that is torture. How is that different than Nazi concentration camps, or the like? Is this America's future?

| I think there is a very strong possibility. Yes, it is torture, but what do you do with people who are terminally ill, but can't be humanely euthanized?

| The humanity is being sucked out of humanity, a little at a time; this is being done by the so called "new world order" and the powers-that-be who are behind it. The world is regressing into barbarianism in the disguise of socialism/"change". JMO I just had a vision of us all living in caves. Are there any caves in SoMD?

| I haven't seen it. I'll keep that in mind. If I come across it on netflix or something, I'll know I'm not wasting my time watching it.

| Anyone hear from Sarah Palin lately? We already know Joe Biden doesn't believe this #### is happening based on his Vice-Presidential debate comments.
