During my early medical postgraduate years I was a strong supporter of end-of-life patient requests for euthanasia. Now, in my middle years, with more wisdom and having worked for more than 20 years in government health facilities, I am quite sure no amount of safety nets, protocols or regulations would protect patients from deleterious personality types that are not uncommon within the various professions.
Even one life ended by use of medical misappropriation, deception or abuse of power should remain unacceptable.
Dr Linda Mayer, Pyree
Very few people in the public debate take the idea of sin seriously. This letter at least begins to.
