New Orleans, LA (LifeNews.com) -- As doctors fled the city of New Orleans, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina and overcome by looters, chaos and disease, a leading British newspaper says doctors treating severely wounded patient euthanized them rather than transport them to another facility for additional treatment.
Emergency worker William "Forest" McQueen told the London Daily Mail, "Those who had no chance of making it were given a lot of morphine and lain down in a dark place to die."
McQueen, a utility worker from a New Orleans suburb, told relatives of those who died that doctors had them "put down" and said medical officials "injected them, but nurses stayed with them until they died."
Euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal in Louisiana as well as every other state in the country, except for Oregon, where doctors may aide patients in killing themselves. [Read more - LifeNews] [More articles about this]
