The Right to Life organization in Spain has reacted to the death of Ramona Estevez, warning that “any sick person could be treated with the same cruelty.”
Right to Life spokesman Gador Joya said, “This case should make people realize that from now on, any sick person who is unconscious in a hospital emergency room could be faced with a third party deciding whether or not his or her life is worth living,” reported Europa Press.
“From now on, any sick person could be treated with the same cruelty with which Ramona Estevez was treated,” she said.
Estevez, 91, suffered a stroke on July 26 and fell into a deep coma. Several weeks later the Andalusia Health Department said her family could disconnect her feeding tube.
