This is a medication used to treat pain in patients with severe pain, as well as, terminally ill cancer patients, However, it is lethal when given in an excessive amount ("Morphine Facts | Resources | Best Drug Rehabilitation"). Morphine was an excellent choice of a murder weapon for Shipman for multiple reasons. First, death from morphine toxicity would be difficult to determine without performing an autopsy on the body.

    Shipman became addicted to Pethidine, which he illegally prescribed to himself (Harold Shipman, 2014). He was tried and found guilty of this causing him to be fired, which I feel, really drove his serial killer to bloom fully. I say this, because someone who feels such an entitlement and that they are above others must have had a deep-rooted impact on him to be told he was guilty and to take away his prominent employment. Unfortunately for society, Dr. Shipman was able to retain his license and after receiving rehabilitation started to work as a general practitioner again (Harold Shipman, 2014). Taking everything into account, including Dr. Shipman’s early sense of entitlement, intimately involved with his mothers battle with cancer, and his infatuation with morphine-like drugs began his evil endeavor of murdering well over two hundred people.
