2000 French health workers petition for euthanasia
According to the British Medical Journal, more than 2000 doctors, nurses, and other health workers have published a petition in a French news magazine admitting to having assisted the deaths of terminally ill patients at some time in their careers (Le Nouvel Observateur 2007 March 8:98 Click here for the full article).
The petition was published four days before a trial opened in Perigueux, in south west France, of a doctor and a nurse accused of killing a 65 year old patient who was terminally ill with pancreatic cancer by administering a lethal dose of potassium in August 2003. If they are found guilty, the two risk up to 30 years in prison.
