How is euthanasia practised in the UK?
Even though it is prohibited by law for doctors to kill, it is currently acceptable for Doctors to use Do Not Resuscitate notices. They can also implement The Withholding and Withdrawing Medical Treatment [including sustenance] Guidelines on anyone who they regard such ‘treatment’ as being over-burdensome or for patients they regard as having a life not worth prolonging. Doctors can also over proscribe morphine to deliberately hasten death but claim it is treating increased pain.
