Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. With gangs of rapists and looters rampaging through wards in the flooded city, senior doctors took the harrowing decision to give massive overdoses of morphine to those they believed could not make it out alive.

It is good to see that even in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans the critically ill patients are been put out of their suffering rather than being left to die in agony.
So apparently their illness makes them less deserving of rescue? They were in the hospital for treatment. Your comment makes it seem like the terrible circumstances that lead to their deaths were serendipitous.
I just deleted a comment who author seemed more interested in using this incident for a politcal rant, and will do so for similar comments.
