Answer 1

no matter how we feel about this man he is entitled to care if he becomes unwell. Personally I think your right and he should suffer as long as possible but Im not in a position to enable this. I did see him once at ashworth through a wire fence and he sent chill down my spine

Answer 2

he should be stoned to death! should have been done years ago!!!!

Answer 3

He should be treated as one would expect a civilised society to treat a human being.

Otherwise you should expect your kidnapped friend/family member to get his head hacked off.

Lead by example or suffer the consequences.

Answer 4

CLIVE..........he should have been strung up by his scallops long ago?????????RIGGS.

Answer 5

Yes, he should be kept alive.....the evil b******d!!

Answer 6

Yes he should be kept alive . He has wanted to die for a long time . It gives him the one thing he has craved for years freedom .

Answer 7

hes paid his price.  hes been in prison a long long time. what does it matter now if hes shown just a little speck of humanity. no one will forget his crimes but surely after all thes years he could be allowed to die in peace.

Answer 8

let the bstard die, its time.

pinball,   him and that vile woman didn't give the children they murdered peace, but an agonising death, i have heard the tapes and read the books about them and their killing spree.

I hope when he goes he sufferers

Answer 9

Only a medical practitioner can make that decision, since it his him or her, who would be asked to provide medical intervention.

Answer 10

He wants to die.

Answer 11

From the article you gave ........he complained, they took him to hospital , ran tests that show he is fine and sent him back to prison to make a full recovery.

Doesn't appear that he is suffering with any great illness and as that goes ..........he probably gets to see a doctor a lot faster than most people.

Old age will get him before anything........to bad his victims weren't that lucky.

Answer 12

h**l, yes.  I'm a Yank, but I remember him and his girlfriend.  

"Beyond Belief" was the book.

Answer 13

YES.

Answer 14

yeah keep him alive but let the remaining relatives of the victims in his cell to kick the living **** out of him, i'd come along to give him a few kicks to the head.

Answer 15

Yeah I'll go with that.Sounds about right for the barsteward.

Answer 16

He probably has lung cancer ~ its a very painful way to die anyway.

Yes, he should be allowed to die, as he wishes. Actually he can't be made to take any life prolonging medications, and as we know his choice is to die, this will suit him.

Answer 17

Yes he should he is no good to society and himself, can them poor children come back NO.

Answer 18

I think he should be given the very best of care so that he recovers quickly and can go back to prison for the rest of his life.

Answer 19

Keep the b*****d alive!

Answer 20

ABSOLUTELY NOT...!!!He was a notorious child killer without remorse and should even upon his death never be allowed the dignity of being buried....or cremated..

Answer 21

should be tortured

Answer 22

The obvious response would be to say let him die, but thats what he wants, so he should be made to live, prison is not enough for him, he should be made to feel as much pain, discomfort and anguish as possible, for he is a wicked wicked man. There are a lot evil people as well as him I can think of who also need to be treated like this, but aren't.

Answer 23

The kids didn't want to die, so keep the b*****d alive as long as we can and see how he likes it.

Death for him is just a cop out.

Answer 24

Keep him alive,Make the suffering continue.

Answer 25

Keep him alive.

always stoned above . Yes

Answer 26

He is being kept alive anyway, hes been on a hunger strike for years and is fed through a tube

Answer 27

He'll be kept  alive long enough, to tell the Authorities, where the defiled body of Keith Bennett, has been buried.

Answer 28

Yeah, he should be kept alive. Why should he die without adequate suffering (adequate suffering in my opinion is spending 50 years + in severe pain but i'm grounded enough to know that is unlikely).

To the person above me, yes I am wholly approving of human torture. "Do unto others as you'll have them do to you" If i ever did that to kids, i'll be happy to spend 50 years in severe pain.
