Re: EUTHINASIA
That was hardly classifiable as mercy killings.

Re: EUTHINASIA
Who can say for certain? It may be that Shipman considered his killings as exactly that. But since he is no longer around to question, we will never know.

Re: EUTHINASIA
its i think an unanswerable topic it would take a very strong person to do it and not doing it puts the mind in torment. nature i think, at the end of the day must or should be left to happen. "UNFORTUNATELY"

Didn't he actually inherit money from the patients he killed? That does shed a bit of a different light on it.

Re: EUTHINASIA
he was an evil murderer and the only decent thing he did was top himself and spare us the expense of keeping him...

Re: EUTHINASIA
I apologise if I offended anyone with my posting, I was actually implying that if we gave doctors a Carte Blanch to carry out euthenasia, it could open a can of worms.

I'm afraid i disagree with you, in part, fireman.
Yes, I think he has done us, as tax payers a favour by topping himself. I would have like to see him do the decent thing and give a list of the people that he did kill. This would at least give the relatives of the dead people some form of closure and not be left wondering for evermore if their loved ones did die as a result of Dr Shipmans interference.
Notice that I did not refer to the killings as murder or euthenasia, because maybe in Shipman's deranged mind, he saw his actions as mercy killings.

Re: EUTHINASIA
I don't think it would give doctors carte blanche, for they have nothing to gain in the euthanasia scenario. I think the Shipman case was different. I think that guy got off on feeling he had the power over old people. The worst thing about it was these people trusted Harold Shipman and he betrayed their trust......and in the most despicable way.

Re: EUTHINASIA
What was the demographic of the people that he killed. Were they just elderly and infirm?

Re: EUTHINASIA
His victims were mainly elderly but I believe that they weren't all necessarily infirm or terminal.

Re: EUTHINASIA
Like lettie says, the majority of them were just old......and from reports some of them were quite fit for their age.

Re: EUTHINASIA
I think he would have it all logged down somewhere. Shipman was very methodical about his killings. Who knows, maybe time will tell if he ever kept a record of his macabre past-time.
