DEPRIVED Of
RIGHT To DIE

An English medical journal is
much shocked at the report that
physicians in Chicago recently OBJ
tanned an order of court to enable
them to amputate the arm of a
boy suffering from gangrene. 1t
was necessary to cut off the boys
arm to save his life, but neither
he nor his parents were willing
that the operation should take
place.
The English journal is of the
opinion that if the boy wanted to
die and his parents were willing
the surgeons should have stood
aside and "let nature take her
course" That, 1t says, is what
would have happened in England;
for the British, it appears, are
accustomed to large degree of
personal freedom, and impatient
of official interference"
The same journal goes on to
say: ITO perform an immediate
operation without waiting to OBJ
tain permission is
one thing; but to resort to COM
pulsion is quite another" In
other words, If the surgeons had
proceeded to anesthetize the boy
and cut off his arm without say
ing what they were going to do,
1t would have been all right; but
to obtain the sanction of the legal
