BRITISH FACE CAMPAIGN FOB MERCY DEATHS LONDON, (UP)—A campaign to give doctors the "right to kill" in the case of a patient suffering from an incurable disease is gathering force in Great Britain. It will be brought to a definite issue in the near future if a bill now being prepared to grant doctors this right is put before parliament. The bill, which has been drawn up by an eminent medical man, Dr. C. Killick Millard, medical officer of health for the town of Leicester, provides for voluntary euthanasia, or "easy death,” for people suffering from painful and incurable illness. Another powerful advocate o£ euthanasia is Sir George Buckston Browne, a distinguished surgeon and vice-president of the British Association. He has suggested that the (>ower to put it into practice should be in the hands of a joint council of doctors and lawyers. Advocates of the "light to kill" in Great Britain point to the fact that it already is legal in Prussia if the consent of the parent is obtained together with a certificate signed by three doctors.
