"The British Medical Association keeps a list of doctors around the world, including The USA known to be involved in judicial executions. This helps ensure they cannot work in The EU. Australia / NZ or many other countries nor have papers published as their contravention of the hippocratic oath precludes their registration being recognised."
Always thought that at all "Judicial" executions the two professions that had to be there by law were a Minister of whatever religion the sentenced belonged to and a Doctor to certify that death actually had occurred - could this mandatory presence be considered as "assisting"?
If Doctors are to be "struck-off" for fulfilling part of a legally sanctioned process what then is the status of Doctors involved with the legally sanctioned Voluntary Euthanasia programmes in Netherlands (Where in certain circumstances involuntary euthanasia is permitted); Belgium; Luxembourg; Switzerland; Estonia; Albania; the U.S. States of Washington, Oregon and Montana and the Canadian Province of Quebec?
