Did New Orleans doctors resort to euthanasia?By Simon Jeffery / Hurricane Katrina 01:30pm
The South Asia earthquake, with its far greater loss of life, has eclipsed the memory of some of the horrors seen last month in New Orleans. You do not, however, need to think too far back to remember the days earlier this autumn when the city was flooded and those who were to frail or too poor to evacuate were left to suffer.
Conditions in the city were grim. A report from CNN.com (which, if you follow the link, you can also watch as a video) investigates allegations that staff at one city hospital facing soaring temperatures with no electricity, no water and dwindling food and medical supplies ("battle conditions" according to one manager) discussed euthanasia for patients thought unlikely to survive.
