Hello Everybody,

"In some circumstances a person with COVID-19 may
be eligible for assisted dying."
~ New Zealand's Minister of Health, 12/22/2021

Who gets to decide if and when a person "may be eligible"
for execution? I mean, if they are unable to do it themselves,
it is okay for others to do it for them? If so, who gets to
make the decision, and how will the execution be carried out?

Medical doctors take an oath which says "First, do no harm."
But nurses and medical assistants are under no such obligation.
Does that mean they are to become our executioners? Or at least
for those with COVID-19? After all, they do follow doctors
orders, and rarely if ever make mistakes.

"I feel so sick I want to die" might be an excuse, but is it
a reason? If a nurse decides to grant a patient's wish to die,
would that make the nurse guilty of murder? Not if the patient
is "eligible" for "assisted dying" (execution).
