More From Ezekiel Emanuel

Sunday-the doctor's paradise! doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
Country Sunday Doctors
What's important is that people give the kinds of reasons that can be understood and appraised apart from their particular comprehensive doctrines: for example, that they argue against physician-assisted suicide not just by speculating about god's wrath or the afterlife, but by talking about what they see as assisted suicide's potential injustices.
Suicide Talking Afterlife
By establishing a social policy that keeps physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia illegal but recognizes exceptions, we would adopt the correct moral view: the onus of proving that everything had been tried and that the motivation and rationale were convincing would rest on those who wanted to end a life.
Suicide Motivation Views
Patients who are being kept alive by technology and want to end their lives already have a recognized constitutional right to stop any and all medical interventions, from respirators to antibiotics. they do not need physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia.
Suicide Technology Physicians
Americans tend to endorse the use of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia when the question is abstract and hypothetical.
Suicide Physicians Use
Far too many doctors-many of them excellent physicians-commit suicide each year; one recent study concluded that, until quite recently, the united states lost annually the equivalent of a medium-sized medical school class from suicide alone. most physician suicides are due to depression or manic-depressive illness, both of which are eminently treatable. physicians, unfortunately, not only suffer from a higher rate of mood disorders than the general population, they also have a greater access to very effective means of suicide.

Similar Quotes
Each way to suicide is its own: intensely private, unknowable, and terrible. suicide will have seemed to its perpetrator the last and best of bad possibilities, and any attempt by the living to chart this final terrain of life can be only a sketch, maddeningly incomplete
Suicide Finals Way
Woe to the suicides! i believe that there can be none more miserable than they. oh, there are some who remain proud and fierce even in hell, in spite of their certain knowledge and contemplation of the absolute truth; there are some fearful ones who have given themselves over to satan and his proud spirit entirely. for such, hell is voluntary and ever consuming; they are tortured by their own choice. for they have cursed themselves, cursing god and life. and they will burn in the fire of their own wrath forever and yearn for death and annihilation. but they will not attain to death.
Suicide Believe Suicidal
Everyone has good cause for suicide, or at least it seems that way to those who search for it. (74)
