I'd agree with you with respect to particular doctors -- though I find it hard to imagine why a doctor would object to *not* euthanizing a patient -- but as I understand it, and possibly I understand it wrong, the opposing parties to the suit are taking the position that they can euthanize a patient any time they feel it's in his best interest, that this is the policy of the medical profession in Britain. That is what I think is wrong.
