@Atul_Gawande@haroldpollack@tnr It's an entirely reasonable and rational approach to tragic sit'n. Why criticize such a personal decision -
@Mglo I don't criticize her. This is me: "It would be presumptuous of me to question this very personal decision in a tragic situation." -
@haroldpollack Ok, I take it back, but I would argue that the Oregon statutes are a case of the health system doing the right thing.
