I am doing an MSc in medical ethics and have been discussing the topic of euthanasia with classmates - mostly doctors.� I find my views consistently different than many of theirs - the imperative to continue treating in order to keep someone alive has never made sense to me when that person is asking that their life support be discontinued because they feel the life no longer worth living.
I can only think that it stems from the professional focus on meaningful activity in a person's life that characterises OT. I was wondering if this greater level of 'comfort' with the idea of voluntary euthanasia is more common among OTs generally, or if it is just the case among my own circle of OT friends. Kevin � �
