Re: Doctor-Patient Relationships
I can at least add this, as matter of recommended/suggested Medical ethics:
It should be seen as correct to euthanise or palliatively give an overdose of anaesthetics if it takes extra measures in order to treat a patient. That is, one can not be required to become a monster in order to provide treatment to an extreme personality which commands you to make it leave the surface of the Earth or becoming a monster with it!
I must note that it can't be a necessity to become a monster in order to provide medicine to people!
Any good?

Re: Doctor-Patient Relationships
Relating to Hunger Strikers
First, an objection to the rather strict procedural routine for physicians. It's my view that, as long one passes the "test" as urge for dying because of pains, mental and physical in rejecting food and drink, one should have the right to die with no further delay!
The "patient", the starving can d*mn well communicate any need or change of plans for as long the starving goes on, appx. 2-3 months of starving, depending on the rejection of drink that can hasten the ordeal to only 12-15 days.
Note too: It actually takes a lot of moral character or stiff consequences (of torture/difficult life whatever/abuse whatever/etc.). Therefore, this regiment seems "a bit" unappropriate given the usual character of a physician ("who are likely to be no angels").
