An elderly husband and wife have announced their plans to die in the world’s first ‘couple’ euthanasia – despite neither of them being terminally ill.
I think not. It's usually called a "murder-suicide".
they have the support of their three adult children who say they would be unable to care for either parent if they became widowed.
A proper response is unprintable.
The children have even gone so far as to find a practitioner willing to carry out the double killings on the grounds that the couple’s mental anguish constituted the unbearable suffering needed to legally justify euthanasia.
God save me from children like these.
Francis has received treatment for prostate cancer for 20 years and is unable to spend a day without morphine and Anne is partially blind and almost totally deaf.
What a coincidence. I just had mine out. There are consequences, and full recovery of function will take a while, but no body wanted to kill me, and no body wanted to delay proper treatment for decades.
They decided that life in a care home was not an option because of their fear they would end up bedridden without the strength to insist on euthanasia.They are also afraid that a good retirement home would cost more than their combined pensions and that they would have to dig into their savings to afford it.
This boggles the mind. They're afraid of running through their savings, so they're going to off themselves?????

Read the article. It is simultaneous suicide.
