Doctors Should Be Allowed to Carry Out Euthanasia on the Mentally Ill

November 6, 2015

(Daily Mail) – Doctors should be given the power to carry out euthanasia on mentally ill patients, according to a call made in a leading medical journal. It said that people with incurable and unbearable mental conditions should be subjected to ‘psychiatric-assisted’ dying to end their suffering. Such patients should be killed even though their illness means they cannot make the choice for themselves, according to an article in the British-run Bioethics journal.
