What Happened to "First Do No Harm?"

Saw this on Best of the Web. I am so not ever going to visit England after news like this.

More than 260 doctors yesterday called on the American authorities at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to allow detainees to starve themselves to death.

The signatories to a letter published in the medical journal the Lancet said force-feeding to break a hunger strike was "unequivocally wrong".

The doctors from seven countries, including Britain and America, also demanded that military doctors administering the treatment be disciplined for allegedly breaking international medical agreements that bar the practice.

"Fundamental to doctors' responsibilities in attending a hunger striker is the recognition that prisoners have a right to refuse treatment," they wrote.

The US introduced the policy last year after a hunger strike by more than 100 prisoners. Four are still refusing food.

Britain, home of socialized medicine and doctors for starvation.

Remind me again, why Michael Schiavo was in Florida and not London last year? He could have offed his wife on the Government's dime if he wanted to.
