Morning. Whether we like it or not this is one of their roles, it goes to the core of the medical profession - do they prolong life at all costs or do doctors treat suffering? Sometimes these roles are in conflict and irreconcilable. Quality of life versus length of existence. I would be interested in cool qm's and corn's opinions as they 'seem' to be on either side (for valid reasons) of this ethical problem.

I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
