Malnutrition of Scottish patients is "euthanasia"

A leading Scottish health campaigner has implored the Scottish Government to urgently address the problem of malnutrition of the elderly and vulnerable in National Health Service hospitals in Scotland. Dr Jean Turner, executive director of Scotland Patients Association, warned that hundreds of patients, especially the elderly, are undernourished and deteriorating in hospital beds because they are not receiving help with feeding. She says that it is "a form of euthanasia." Herald Scotland
