Study Shows Doctors Affected by Euthanasia Practice |
It stands to reason that any person with an ounce of decency within them
would be affected negatively by murder.
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/10/afa/202006f.asp
(AgapePress) - A new study reported by the Physicians for Compassionate Care
reveals severe effects on doctors who perform physician-assisted suicide
(PAS) and euthanasia.
"Many doctors who participated in euthanasia and/or PAS are adversely
affected emotionally and psychologically by their experiences," as concluded
in the study.
"Doctors describe being profoundly adversely affected, being shocked by the
suddenness of the death, being caught up in the patient's drive for assisted
suicide, having a sense of powerlessness and feeling isolated. There is
evidence of pressure on and intimidation of doctors by some patients to
assist in suicide," as further concluded in the report.
Dr. Kenneth Stevens, an Oregon cancer specialist with the Christian Medical
& Dental Associations (CMDA), describes these effects as substantial.
Helping patients die "represents a shift away from the sentimental values of
medicine to heal and promote human wholeness and moves to a position where
the doctor is causing the death," Stevens explained. "So, the doctors are
shocked by the sadness of death."
Similar feelings are shared by doctors in the Netherlands and in Oregon --
both places where euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are legal.
One doctor from the Netherlands said, "Many physicians who had practiced
euthanasia mentioned that they would be most reluctant to do so again."
Another one said that he felt "awful" the first time he performed
euthanasia. And Peter Admiral, a leader of Holland's euthanasia movement,
said, "You will never get accustomed to killing somebody. We are not trained
to kill. With euthanasia, your nightmare comes true."
As Physicians for Compassionate Care put it, PAS is wrong because "it
changes the role of the physician in society from the traditional one of
healer to that of the executioner."

Assisted suicide is not murder.

This article is a spectacular examle of using something one can pretend
is a news event as an execuse to repeat an series of totally unrelated
argument. It's even more amusing that the "study"'s sole purpose in the
first place was to create an excuse to repeat those same arguments.
Suppose hypothetically a study showed that doctors who performed
euthanasia felt great afterwards -- their power over life or death
energized them and made them much better doctors afterwards. Would this
constitute an argument in favor of euthanasia? Suppose a study showed
that performing heart operations had severe effects on doctors when the
patients had bad outcomes. Would this be an argument that they
shouldn't perform them?
It's really sad actually.

Hmm... Rumor has it that Jesus the Christ was murdered.
Curiously, we see that many of his followers seem to celebrate his death.
Hmm... You might be right.

That's a tough call to make... If you believe that an omnipotent,
omnipresent, omniscient, grand high potentate, that predicted his own death
and had all the power in the world to prevent it could be murdered...
I suppose it's more of a phylosophical question though.

The funny thing is that the comment works with either spelling.

"Murder" is a legal distinction. The word does not apply to legal acts
and may not be used to describe them.
Period.
