This week, a British paper reports that Shanna Hodge has endured abusive messages labeling her a "baby killer" after making the agonizing decision to turn off her dying son's life support system. She even tried to take her own life following her abuse and is now fearful to walk down the street and answer her phone.
While sad and disturbing, this story reminded me of something even more disturbing: a March 2012 study in the Journal of Palliative Medicine.
It found that even healthcare professionals accused each other of "murder" or "killing" when engaged in even commonly used palliative care practices.
