Sunday Surkhi--Real killer Doc

  I had not heard this story before that I heard today and it was more than shocking.
 In Manchester, England a doctor was arrested 1998 for changing the will of an old lady who died under his 'care'
"I leave everything to Dr. Shipman who was kind and caring for me during all my illness"
The Jury found him guilty of act of fraud and he was sentenced to some time for punishment but death was not considered murder. Many people had suspicions he was killing and a new investigation was launched but before he was arrested again he had killed three more.
Investigations revealed he had taken more than 200 lives amlost all old women and old men, but there was one 4 yr. old child also.
  His mother died of cancer at the time he was teenager and probably he developed a "revenge" that carried out on his patients and may be he adopted medicalo carrier for that perpose. he was well-liked by patients and colleagues and his wife with 4 children
 Then you see lot of investigation of his colleagues their opinions and statements how they failed to suspect as he was so well-educated and clever in carrying our his killings. This is reported to be the worst of the serial killers who ever lived.
 Shocking as it is to listen to the details, you cannot help wondering how a killer can hide himself under so much of "ordinary life" that no partners, no spouse or children could suspect. Even in the prison he spent 4 years being a popular 'Doc" making happy all the inmates before he took one more life - his own, hanged himself in the prison one day. Doctor Harold Shipman, amazing story but true. He surpasses Kevorkian.
 He was  really "evil". That brings me to the "non-evil" caring doctors who kill or assist in killing their patients in most countries (where it is "allowed") with permission of the patient and families and in one country even without the permission. Under such circumstances when an old man of 80 or do goes to his doctor for treatment of his chest pain and cough, he may not know whether his doctor is going to treat his bronchitis or he is likely to be "shipped" to the other world by the kind and "non-evil" doctor.
 What kind of ethics?
