In my reaction to reading this article, I would have to say that Baroness Warnock is quite a few bad words I cannot mention in this essay with fear of losing points. Just because dementia patients are being taken care of by other people, doesn’t mean that they aren’t human. You should not take a life away from anyone, whether they take up space or not. These dementia patients are still part of someone’s family, whether the Baroness likes it or not. I am thinking the Baroness woke up on the wrong side of the bed and stepped in a bowl of “Let’s kill the mental patients of the world!” Basically, Baroness Warnock is the British Hitler of the twenty-first century, targeting a group of, in a way, minorities, and wanting them to be killed. If her entire family were all dementia patients, would she want them all to die? That would be her parents, children, husband, aunts, uncles, all those other relatives. Maybe she has a bad history with dementia? I wouldn’t know, all I know is that the Baroness is extremely wrong for saying this about dementia patients. Sure, they are depleting resources and taking up space… but aren’t you too Baroness? Their lives still have a purpose even if they cannot remember anything or are slower than average people.
