‘Religious zealots’ at CUH euthanasia lecture slated

PROTESTERS who forced the cancellation of a controversial euthanasia lecture have been branded “religious zealots” whose actions should be condemned.

Fianna Fáil city councillor Terry Shannon launched the blistering attack, after proposing the city council pass a vote of congratulations to the Cork University Hospital (CUH) Ethics Forum which organised the lecture.

He branded “disgraceful” the actions of the angry group which heckled and jeered senior British medical ethics expert Professor Len Doyal at CUH last Thursday night.
