Like I said, depending on how far they go. We all know where this is headed if it’s not stopped, and doctors will be complicit. Hanging will seem mild for some of the atrocities to come.
And social murder is still murder. If statistical nightengaleian medicine saves lives, they’ve already killed people, targeted marginalized communities.
So either their jobs were bullshit and wasteful, or they’re already deliberate mass murderers, who knew what they were doing and the effect it would have better than anyone else on earth. Which is it?
Does killing with a keystroke have a different moral valence than pulling a trigger? Are drone operators not killers? What makes the difference? Looking at your victim? Is killing someone with indirect fire like an arrow or artillery shell somehow morally different than shooting someone with a rifle or stabbing them with a knife? Is it just about how close they are to seeing and touching icky things? Is that what makes the difference? Please, tell me.
They took actions they knew would kill people¹, would kill specific people for no benefit. This wasn’t triage. They didn’t allocate scarce resources according to some value system or take a risk. They’re killers¹. They committed mass murder¹.
Think before you speak.
¹or scammed the government for decades, if the entire field of statistical medicine is useless and none of this matters because it was all always a scam. Which I seriously doubt.
Lucy Letby was convicted last year of murdering 7 babies and attempting to murder 7 more while working the the nic u. She’s serving life in prison, but if there’s a medical “professional” that maybe deserves a classic public hanging, she could be near the top of that list. That’s just one that comes to mind, but if a doctor like Nazi Josef Mengele were to be discovered, I’d also say they should get a hanging.
YSK Lucy Letby is likely innocent; a group of medical experts have disseminated the evidence and found that she almost certainly didn’t kill those babies.
Nope, it’s hanged. Specifically, hanged means being suspended with the bottom being free. Hung is more like a hung jury, a well hung man, or being hung up on something. It sounds wrong, but hanged is right.
I understand how horrible the actions are but “hanged” is crazy

Yet another “you’re overreacting, that’ll never happen”

I will have to read into it as I don’t believe I’ve heard that.
Right? Surely it’s hung not hanged.
to be hanged is when someone is hung from the neck until dead. one of english’s weirdest verb conjugations.
