A Deadly Choice for the Medical Profession

Many physicians feel ambivalent about the rightness of helping patients end their lives. If the trend of the last decade continues, however, the number of doctors who offer a tacit or explicit endorsement of physician-assisted suicide will continue to rise, while those who oppose it will diminish in influence. In my opinion, this is a regrettable development. But I also recognize that the arguments in favor of assisted suicide—wrong as they may be—are compelling.

The articles in this e-book were initially published on this blog in response to news items pertaining to the topic of physician-assisted suicide. This modest collection does not treat it in a comprehensive manner but attempts to attack it from a variety of angles. I believe that some of the perspective presented are original and provocative, and will hopefully bring to the reader a recognition of the falseness of assisted suicide.
