![]() Did they want the spare room back? How did the doctor get away with signing a death cert. with that on? Hannah |

How odd. Someone will know the answer, sorry, but it's not me. |

I've never heard of it being legal. How interesting! |

This is all I have found so far, this is the earliest mention of it that I have found so far. History While presumably mercy killing has been practised throughout history and in different cultures, attempts to make it legal have been made only fairly recently. In England in 1936 the Voluntary Euthanasia Society sponsored a bill in the House of Lords for the legalisation of euthanasia. The bill was defeated, and similar attempts have also failed. In 1940 the Catholic Church officially condemned the administering of euthanasia to a person with physical or mental defects or for economic or racial reasons. The Church has repeated its opposition many times since then http://www.catholic-ew.org.uk/ccb/catho ... euthanasia |

In my medical dictionary it say's; The process of dying easily and painlessly. Also said of the act of aiding someone to die in this way. So it is quite possible that it meant the first instance. Stephanie. |
