The best advice I can give is medical research, I dont know of any such practice but the way in which care homes have been recently investigated anything goes.
Do the research, gather the facts and go from there

I honestly would not think that is aloud under the Care Homes Act 2000

In rest homes or in hospitals this is a serious criminal offence!
So the answer is no and if there are any that do they better not
get caught.

I don't know, but surely that is a fairly unpleasant way of killing someone?
It must be better to take them on a holiday to somewhere that euthanasia is legal?

no, it's a criminal offence, it's called murder.
