Doctors who don't believe in God are two times as likely to make decisions that could end the lives of their patients
London School of Medicine reports doctors who don't believe in God are two times as likely to make decisions that could end the lives of their patients, compared to very religious physicians, says a recent study. Dr. Clive Seale conducted a random survey of more than 3,700 doctors across the country and 2,923 filled out the questionnaire regarding how they took care of their last terminally ill patient. The doctors who described themselves as "extremely" or "very" non-religious were almost twice as likely to have made a decision that would accelerate a patient's death. Seale's study also found that doctors who described themselves as "very religious" were much less likely to have discussed end of life options with their patients.
