Members of the Spanish Bioethics Committee have unanimously opposed a euthanasia bill, warning their government that the proposed legislation would oblige doctors to commit murder.
A 74-page report by the committee, an independent agency of the Ministry of Health, Social Care and Equality, declared that “solid health, ethical, legal, economic and social reasons” existed to reject euthanasia and assisted suicide. The report was signed in Madrid Oct. 6 with a note to the media to say that none of the members had dissented from any of the contents.
