QUESTION OF EUTHANASIA.
REFERENCE BY DR STOUT. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 29. Reference to euthanasia (gentle and easy death) was made by Dr T. D. Stout, president of the New Zealand branch of the British Medical Association to-day. Dr Stout said : “It is only in certain phases of hopeless mental disorder, especially when associated with some sub-normal development, that we might consider certain measures desirable. With regard to euthanasia for a curable and painful disease, perhaps voluntary action by the individual may be justified, but as professional men, we are always hoping for a cure of the disease as long as life remains.”
