Perhaps the stories of panicky doctors and other care-givers having killed patients and other helpless folk during the hurricane Katrina disaster in New Oleans and other affected areas are true. The Washington Post reports that Louisiana Attorney General Charles 'Hummer' Foti says his office will likely be filing charges.
Six hospitals and 13 nursing homes in Louisiana are under investigation. The investigations were wide-ranging, looking into whether patients were abandoned, evacuated improperly, or euthanized to spare them further suffering, said attorney general's spokeswoman Kris Wartelle.If these charges are true, I hope they don't get off with some theory of justification. Euthanasia, last I heard, was still a crime here in America. I can already hear the apellate courts citing Dutch law.
