I totally agree with jauntie on the 'making it legal'aspect. At the same time I would applaud a doctor who would discreetly let a terminally ill patient go. Corne you may not be willingly responsible for a patient's death but WHAT IF he dies during a surgery by you (GOD FORBID) or during a simple saline transfusion. Being a doctor you have to take many risk and decisions. A doctor may decide to amputate a limb for the person to survive.
