death pathway

This is humane? Why not just roll'em into a gas chamber.


Sick children are being placed on a controversial end-of-life “pathway” previously only thought to have been used for elderly and terminally-ill adult patients.

I would say weird is putting it nicely, how about Euthanasia.

I would prefer to be shot than starved to death. Is a injection of Phenobarbital that expensive? That is if you can justify this practice in the first place.

They're probably not permitted to give such an injection; there are some very weird practices and even weirder laws. Not really on the same subject but related because it's our NHS, I found out from a friend that some conditions don't count as a "waiting list" condition; you see, over here we have a set timeline for being seen, supposedly, so many weeks from the first appointment etc...and now I find out that the "waiting list" timeline doesn't encompass all conditions or body areas.

Every country's medical/health services seem to have their own issues it seems.
