SOCIALIZED BRIT DOCTORS EXPLORING EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICDE

BBC:
Dr Michael Wilks, chairman of the BMA's [British Medical Association] ethics committee, said ... they would explore whether there was a difference between assisted suicide, whereby medics provide the means for a patient to kill themselves, and voluntary euthanasia, when a patient is too ill to administer the lethal medication, but consents to someone else doing it.
I can see why the SOCIALIZED National Health Service of Britain might want doctors to begin practiicing euthanasia and also assist in patient suicides: it will save money for the National Health Service!

Which is another reason you don't want the STATE to be your medical provider: they have a basic conflict of interest. Especially if your early exit means you won't be drawing down all your social security payments - WHY THAT'S LIKE A DOUBLE -DOWN WIN FOR THE WELFARE STATE: they save on medical expenses and on pension benefits!
