Murder as Medicine

When an incentive is provided to hospitals for hastening their patients' demise, the medical facility has transformed into an execution chamber. This horror is becoming ever more pervasive in the United Kingdom (though from my own experience with my father being killed in the same manner, I am sadly aware this policy is in no way limited to Great Britain). This excellent John Bingham article from The Telegraph illuminates this grotesque mockery of the proper function of medicine:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9644287/NHS-millions-for-controversial-care-pathway.html. Read it and weep for the victims of palliative care who else wise would have survived longer and perhaps could have fully recovered if they had not been deliberately starved and dehydrated to death.
