Its been a long time since someone said that the doctor´s role is to restore health and relieve the suffering and pain, not only when that mitigation can lead to healing, but also whether it can serve to ensure a quiet and easy death."And I´m totally agree about this because as in the decalogue of christianity it always there are different cases when life isn´t a life. I think that we had to think in diseases like some cancers and often in wars.
A remember that my parents told a very controversial case named in that oportunity the living dead of New Jersey, when a twenty years sportswoman after taked a heavy dose of tranquillizer and gin-tonic glasess, because of this this girl needed to be intubated in a hospital with an artificial lung to live and the worst part came when one of the neurologists defined her as “permanent vegetative state”. The Furthermore the judge dictated a ruling that held that, to be able to determine for certain the gril alive medical and legal, could not be authorized to interrupt the action of the apparatus, because such an act would constitute a murder.
I realize the problem isn't the gravity of the sickness for approve this kind of practice, if not, the situation is like a moral obligation of remain alive meanwhile life does not leave us.
