Forum members: Recently Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel published a long essay in the The Atlantic on Sept 17 entitled "Why I Hope to Die at 75: An argument that society and families -- and you -- will be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly". I found it a very bold, very interesting and thought provoking article. Dr. Emanuel is director of the Clinical Bioethics Department at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. You can find his article here:
Yesterday, Brant S. Mittler MD, JD printed a reply in MedPageToday entitled "Counterpoint: Too Young to Die". This article was also a good read although a little too political in my opinion. Dr. Mittler has been a cardiologist in private practice in San Antonio for the past 38 years and has an active litigation practice in healthcare law. You can find his article here::
Point. Counterpoint. Your thoughts are welcome.
