292-301 Oregon's Death with Dignity Act. The Kevorkian Papers , by Ted Gerk. The commentaries to case 29 disagree about the morality of the doctor's decision to perform active euthanasia. Such heavy doses of morphine will typically depress breathing so much that the patient slowly suffocates to death. Now, this is highly relevant to Dickey's analysis of the case.
Dickey proudly asserts that doctors only give comfort, and never kill.
Many, many doctors do this all the time. I don't know what Dickey could say to that. Think about Dickey's statement that doctors should never kill. I'd like to hear your views on this.
