Why was King George V Euthanised?

King George V, who reigned over the United Kingdom for 26 years, was quietly euthanized in 1936 due to the worsening of his lung cancer, from which he had been suffering for some time. We remember him fondly today and his legacy remains with us all.

What’s worse, the doctor chose the time for it to happen, so that the announcement would be in the morning papers rather than the tabloids. The nurses were all afraid to do it so he did it personally. Later when he sat in parliament, he voted against a bill that would have legalised euthanasia.

[@jayahmoore7251]

I think he handled the situation with grace, also whilst protecting the family from potential slander and the kings reputation, he saw how much pain that came from it and helped barr people from potentially making devastating mistakes, because be honest if euthinasa was common in edwardian and Victorian eras it would've been a brawl

​@Elise Cooper right. People dont understand how important genetics are. Some smokers live over 100. Some people can not really be concerned over their health and somehow live long and healthy. Some can live very healthy and die young. At the end of it all, the unhealthy choices only increase risk. Some people are just destined to get ill Edit: Ya'll are confused.

At one time, Doctors would ask the family or the family would ask the Doctor, to give the patient something for the pain, knowing it would end their life and their suffering. This was possible, because in UK if the patient was at home, and a Doctor was present at time of death, he/she could write the death certificate and a post mortem was not required to determine the cause.
