No incidences of physician-assisted suicide in the UK
The results of the first UK-wide study into euthanasia are revealed in the recent edition of medical journal Palliative Medicine. The survey, carried out by a Brunel University academic, shows the proportion of UK deaths in which doctors report having assisted patients suicide, carried out euthanasia, or taken other medical decisions relating to the ending of life. This is the first time such a comprehensive survey of UK medical practice has been reported. Because the same survey has been done in other countries, rates in the UK can be compared with rates elsewhere.
