"To suggest that we can remediate suffering by terminating life is a very strange logic." -- Dr. Bach
I wonder if Dr. Bach has ever suffered from chronic pain. Understandably, medicine should not be an automatic cop-out to difficult situations. However, if I am seeing a physician, there is the mutual understanding that something is not okay -- my appendix has ruptured, I have depression, I have a fever. There is some degree of pain that is common between all ailments. To suggest that medicine should not end, or at the very least mediate, suffering is, as it was put, "a very strange logic."
