A Physician's Calling: Preserving Life, Not Assisting Death
As a physician, my calling is to promote life. I have pledged to uphold the sanctity and dignity of human life as part of the Hippocratic Oath.
It is unethical to have quickening death as an option. Yet this year alone, half of our nation's state legislatures have proposed legalizing the practice of a person taking deadly drugs to end their life prematurely. A new Gallup poll shows that 56 percent of Americans now find euthanasia "morally acceptable."
These trends concern me. In taking a life, you are grasping the keys out of God's hands. That is not my place as a doctor, one who has given my life to help heal people.
