Euthanasia is too cruel to doctors
It seems like every day there is a new push to legalise euthanasia in the UK. This week, Prue Leith has called on parliament to debate euthanasia before the next general election. Keir Starmer has said that he is committed to allowing a vote on assisted dying if Labour gain power. And in Holyrood, the Liberal Democrats have put forward a Bill which would decriminalise euthanasia in Scotland if passed. It is physicians who will have to be at the heart of the legally sanctioned killing process Often when euthanasia is debated, the focus is on the terminally ill and the impacts on wider society – which would certainly be profound.
