People with a low quality of life, who cannot look after themselves should not be kept alive. The majority of people with Alzheimer's should be terminated - just keep a few alive for research.

Etc etc etc.

That's what was being said in the early 90s.

'Doctors should decide when a patient should die - without reference to the patient's wishes, the wishes of the family, the opinion of other doctors, or any interference from the law'

'Young schizophrenics who are in good physical health should be terminated and their organs used for transplants'

Those were crazy times ...

On May 9th 1994 the Lords Select Committee On Medical Ethics came out TOTALLY against any form of euthanasia in the UK ... and that's how things should be.

Under NO circumstances should anyone in the medical profession be involved in actively ending the lives of patients.

People who do not wish to experience the unpleasantness of advanced old age, extreme disability, etc., should not demand that other people who are in such states be terminated by the medical profession ... or be given the right to kill themselves with medical assistance.
