A teenager has turned off the life-support machine of a fellow hospital patient because he said he couldn't sleep with the noise
A teenager has turned off the life-support machine of a fellow hospital patient because he said he couldn't sleep with the noise.

Frederik Moelner's attempts to get some kip were interrupted by the noisy machine that was keeping the 76-year-old in the neighbouring bed breathing.

So the 17-year-old, who ended up in the intensive care ward after he was involved in a car crash decided to turn it off, reports Ananova.

I hate to say it but knowing how I love my sleep and how irritable and irrational I get if I don't get it, I can see why the kid did it.

Re: A teenager has turned off the life-support machine of a fellow hospital patient because he said he couldn't sleep with the noise
typical degenerate of this generation

skinny as fuck from a childhood spent in front of the tv/computer, god's sake ever look at the average 17 year old's calves? bunch of worms

morally about the equivalent of a retarded robot, as this story demonstrates

so out of touch with reality, that one will shut off life support of a patient in a HOSPITAL because the little princess can't sleep

too much time spent with their little smartphones turned their already useless brains to goo, and their useless parents just aided and abetted that.

now thats disgusting

What does most of this have to do with anything? Yeah, it's the idiot generation, but the guy that said meds and illogical thinking might be on to something!

Do you REALLY think PRINCESS wanted to kill somebody?

I'm not saying what he did was right, but shouldn't there be a monitoring system?? Or ya know, like not putting the killswitch in arms reach for someone whacked out of their minds on meds to flip?

I think our Canadian friend provided the penultimate definition of that generation: "morally about the equivalent of a retarded robot".

I've seen too many friends dealing with the unbelievable selfishness and IDIOCY of their teens and early-20's. There's "something lacking" in the BIOS system of those kids, some "basic instructions" that never were included in the Original Equipment.

It's an entirely different breed of rats than we were.

No, I'm saying the little Princess COULDN'T GIVE A FUCK

The same person would smother a newborn baby to stop it from crying..wouldnt be a murderous act in his head, it would be just to stop it from crying...so what if it's dead, it was ANNOYING HIM...

you see the little princesses truly live in their own bubble

do you get it? these 'kids' have been so fucked up from constant tv and video games that life means nothing to them...absolutely nothing...reality means nothing to them..there is no reality

that's how you get a 17 year old shutting off a life support system because he can't sleep

it's not because he's a MURDERER , it's because he's so deluded, selfish and too far gone from empathy to even realize it

I've been playing video games and watching TV since the 80s... I really don't feel like I'm a social, self-absorbed retard... and I'd never do anything intentionally like this, regardless of what technology has 'desensitized' me.

I think you might me missing my point though. I don't think the little prick intentionally did this. I understand your stance that his ignorance killed someone. If that's the case, involuntary manslaughter.

But if he was whacked out on meds, you can't blame ipads and Call of Duty.

OMFG atomic wuhfaint

But...
Luckily medical staff at the hospital in Southern Germany quickly realised what had happened, and reconnected the lucky pensioner who survived.

They then contacted local police who are now investigating.
