Summary of argument


Summary of the argument:

            There is an exploration of the ethics of physicians helping with lethal injections. There are claims it is a violation of the Hippocratic oath: where is the line of degree where physicians help lies? There are two extremes one, that the code is irrelevant two; the code defines the duties of the physicians. If it is wrong for physicians to participate in torture then it is wrong for them to participate in torturous acts? The argument denies the legitimacy of medical skills when they run counter to the health interests of the persons to whom there applied; as well as counter to the wishes of that person.
