UK Inquest: Doctors Right Not to Save Suicide Victim

The UK has fallen off a vertical moral cliff. First, the head prosecutor for England and Wales effectively decriminalized family and friends assisting the suicides of people with serious disabilities and terminal conditions .  Now, a coroner’s inquest has determined that physicians were right not to try and save the life of a suicidal woman who killed herself by drinking anti freeze.  Why?  She had written a note stating she didn’t want to be saved.

This is a profound abandonment of the people needing the most love and involvement by their community.  More over at Secondhand Smoke .
