Dr. Philip Rosoff, eloquently spoke about the ethical and moral obligation to provide palliative care for victims from the “pandemic”. However, he cautions that this isn’t an endorsement of euthanasia.
How do you think the one can decide how to prioritize between the treating survivors and those expected to die? How does the Hippocratic Oath (i.e. do no harm) conflict with palliative care and euthanasia?
