IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Reform's Dead End: "Can a day go by without the British producing another story highlighting the disaster of their government-run system? In the latest installment, we find that care for the dying might be a cause of death."

The benignly named Liverpool Care Pathway is not a death panel, but a group of experienced British doctors says it works like that.

In a letter to London's Daily Telegraph, the doctors say patients sometimes thought to be terminally ill are dying prematurely because of guidelines that are intended to ease the suffering of those at the end of their lives.

In this practice, fluids and medication are taken away from the patients and many are constantly sedated until they die.
