When did it become acceptable to describe killing someone as 'shortening their lives', as seems to be happening around the Gosport WM Hospital report? Smacks of trying to soften the blow, imply limited remaining life expectancy of victims and avoid the word 'murder' to me.
That's not my understanding. This was a rehabilitation ward. I believe several who were killed by this intervention were not in end of life care - until it was imposed upon them. A broken hip for example, is obviously not in itself terminal. And Gosport is just 1 example, btw.

We agree on that. I still think is a complicated area though.
