Severe lynching bias protested!

We call this guy a "serial killer" in the article, then declare he only choose victims who were close to death. Shouldn't we label him a "serial euthanasiast" instead? It's not that he went out at nights killing junior schoolboys or depriving families of their mothers. What he did is definitely not in the same class with the "Son of Sam" or the "Killer Clown"! 91.83.28.224 (talk) 19:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see what your saying, but its not like there's any proof that these people wanted to be killed (right?), so is it still euthanasia? I'm assuming he didn't get any sort of statement authorizing the murders?. 24.196.81.82 (talk) 01:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Morphine Undetectable

I understand that morphine leaves the system quickly in a *living* human, but its not a very simple compound like suxamethonium cl. Its got a structure unique from anything normally found in human tissues. If you give someone a lethal dose of morphine, wouldn't morphine, or a morphine glucuronide, or some kind of oxidized/degraded morphine-like compound be detectable in the tissues for a while? Just wondering on the validity of the statement that only pancuronium persists and not morphine and sux. 24.196.81.82 (talk) 01:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
