Bulletin from the Department of False Logic

"Of the 584,791 deaths in the UK in 2004, 0.16% (936) were by voluntary euthanasia and 0.33% (1,930) through the doctor ending a patient's life without consent from the patients, also known as involuntary euthanasia, the survey revealed.

But not one GP or hospital doctor said they had taken part in physician-assisted suicide in the poll which asked them to report on the last death they had attended.

A third of deaths were put down to alleviating symptoms which may have the effect of shortening life, while just under a third were from with-holding treatment because it is deemed in the best interests of the patients. Both practices are legal in the UK.

It is the first time such a comprehensive study into medical practice has been undertaken in the UK and shows euthanasia rates are lower [sic] than in many other countries." (from BBC website)

Anybody besides me see a little discrepancy in the logic here?
