Surgery for Sutcliffe
They were discussing something quite interesting on 'Loose Women' today, and it was about Peter Sutcliffe.They were asking whether the tax payer should be paying £5,000 for an eye operation Sutcliffe needs, to stop him losing his sight.
Some said make him work and pay for it himself, same as we have to, and others were saying it's all about his 'Human Rights' and of course he should have the surgery. The lady who said this was then asked whether she would still feel the same if it were HER daughter that he had murdered. She thought she would still feel the same.
If it had been a family member of mine, I admit I might struggle with the benevolent attitude, but I can see both sides too.
What do you think?

To me it is all about humanity.Being sent to prison and deprived of your liberty is punishment.
Inflicting pain by removing medical help should not be part of a punishment, it is also inhumane.
Once we stoop to those levels in our society we become on a par with those who have committed the crimes.

Re: Surgery for Sutcliffe
Im surprised he is so well looked after considering what he did. He eats the best steak most days i bet there are many senior citizens that haven't seen a steak for years let alone eat steak most days. I maybe wrong but it just seems so wrong to me that people like Sutcliffe are treated far better than our elderly medical treatment when they need it with no hanging around, good food a gym to keep fit all free if i want to go to the gym it costs me an arm and a leg!!Big wide screen tv's and much, much more.

Meg wasn't it inhuman what he did to those women? So why reward him with a cushy life ok he's locked up big deal he was probably a loner anyway so being locked up probably does not bother him one bit. I just cannot make people out going on about depriving him of medical treatment would bring us to his level so what if it does. This nutter is being treated far better than a lot of innocent people and it just is not right.

I wouldn't call being locked up in a cell and deprived of my liberty 'a cushy life'. It would be hell on earth for me to be locked up .
