Would you want this man in charge of caring for your elder loved ones?  I wouldn’t. A nursing home chain manager in the UK supports the creation of suicide clinics.

From the story:

The UK could eventually have assisted suicide clinics like Dignitas in Switzerland, a care home boss has said. Dr Chai Patel runs a chain of more than 230 elderly care homes across the country. He says financial considerations should not drive the issue, but he acknowledges “what will be, will be”.

He says financial considerations should not drive the issue, but he acknowledges “what will be, will be”.

He wants a wider debate about how people decide to die, which he says could eventually lead to suicide clinics in the UK.

He said people should be allowed to make “grown up decisions” about how they want to die.

But critics say legalising assisted suicide will put pressure on vulnerable patients to die quickly.

There’s money to be made off of suicide clinics. Perhaps the not so good doctor wants to get in on the ground floor.
