Re: Death of Hisashi Ouchi



You raise  ethical questions that should be addressed.  Were the physicians
helping Mr. Ouchi are merely prolonging his suffering to advance their
medical research?  Did they have his informed consent?

I can't pass judgment on this.  All I can say is, if it were me:  No thanx;
let me go with peace and dignity.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
