  Yeah, that's not the case at all. LCP is to ease the suffering of people who are going to die imminently. It was also phased out in 2014, to the detriment of people who want to die with dignity. https://www.nhs.uk/news/medical-practice/news-analysis-what-is-the-liverpool-care-pathway/ https://www.nhs.uk/news/medical-practice/news-analysis-what-...

    > LCP is to ease the suffering of people who are going to die imminently. You wouldn't just parrot Coca-Cola or Philip Morris marketing uncritically, why would you do so with the NHS? Intentions don't matter as much as outcomes do. If you're going to kill people, of course you're going to say you only had the best of intentions. > It was also phased out in 2014, to the detriment of people who want to die with dignity. It wasn't phased out, it was rebranded.
