Very astonishing! a person on death bed being killed by a doctor, known to be an expert, on the request of another person, known to be his wife, with a view to ease his death or to ease the difficulty that could not be understand by any one but the patient in the contest of pain and difficulty, so to award a mercy death.
This is, in my opinion, a deliberate act of criminal negligence and malpractice. This is an act of insanity with no justification what so ever .no law under any circumstances, may allow subject crime, but in extreme of conditions, that hazards, threaten and bereaved the life of multiple individual, in extremes of massive disaster and casualties, but again with crucial unjustified justification, that goes through the severe scrutinizing and in depth investigation by audit.
If I stood on the platform of general discussion without and motiveless belonging to cadre, class, caste, or religion, I will still hold the said opinion.
Although the subject demand justification on the motive of the issue, which is masked or in overriding position due to the concept of professionalism, being granted and by virtue of honor being awarded to the man, bearing tag as representative of god, but on the other hand criminal attitude and motive may be one of the factor that can never be omitted from the book of audit and inquiry.
If I scrutinize the issue of mercy death in the light and perception of the west, they seem to be the flag bearer of the right of conscience, prohibiting abortions with full standing aviation. However when it comes to death by mercy the element of conscience is sacrificed.
The dual trend of policy reflects a motive based ,self assign ,desirable choice so to create and design own terms of demarcation and policies as and when necessary ,benefiting in any case the personnel motives.
Although being professional, I do not disagree over its existence in the subject of medical profession, but my horizon and expertise restrict my observation and skill, to initiate and own the issue in ethical manner.
Initiating the decision to hold the breath of individual on the consent of a lay man in the name of next of kin is an emblem of acceptability that skilled, honor and expertise as decision maker has been sacrificed, benefiting each other in the form of easy escape from severe upcoming engagement as professionals.
