Here doctors refused to take any action to save her life because they said she had drawn up a so called living will in which she had expressed the wish to die and claimed to be '100 per cent aware of the consequences.'

It has been reported that, having taken legal advice, the consultant renal physician Dr Alexander Heaton took the view that she was mentally capable of reaching this decision and therefore he had to respect her wishes.

He even told an inquest into Miss Wooltorton's death that he feared he might be charged with assault if he tried to intervene.

The central principle of the Hippocratic Oath is 'do no harm'.

I would argue that, by allowing a patient to commit suicide and taking no steps to prevent her death, a doctor has contravened that oath.

Unbelievable! This is all kinds of WRONG!
