"A double shot of morphine is not unheard of, even outside of disasters, Usually, it is not considered newsworthy. But, it happens to ease suffering."

Is that all it takes to kill? A double dose or more?
I CAN believe this happened - THOUGH I hope it didn't, but I can believe it IF it did.
This IS how they DO IT in hospices I think, morphine overdose is how they do it all the time at these mercy death units, to speed the "process", just not talked about a lot so the relatives don't get freaked out (rightfully so!)

When someone's terminal they usually are aware that the more they take the quicker they'll go and they have self-administering pumps, they can put as much of the stuff inside them as they want -- I think - to speed the process? Just not talked about much because still "taboo" and stigmatized?

All said, I'm VERY ANTI - EUTHANSIA.

I kind of want to call shens on this story.

I read, on another forum, that the UK press was also running a story of accusations made by British by-standers who are swearing that there were rescue authorities who demanded that women lifted their shirts to expose their breasts or they would be left behind.

I give this story as much credence as I gave that one.

total shens.
