I enjoyed todays discussion, it was very insightful. True the doctors at the Saint Memorial Hospital did have a hard choice to make yet I think we need to hold our doctors, mayor, govenors, federal government officals and military personel accountble for the decisions they make. In order to do that we must first exmaine how we view race, class, age etc. I think its one thing to give a patient an overdose of morphine to ease their suffering or to put them to death if they are in a continual state of pain. But in the case of Emmette Everett, who accordinng to one of the other doctors Pou placed a towel over his head and suffocated him after the morphine did not kill him, that was murder. I don’t care what the situation is no one has the right to murder another person. We have to hold our doctors responsible for there actions by first revaluating our social and racial outlooks as a society. We all need to be held to higher standards. Extreme situation or not our doctors, and elected officals need to be held accountable.
