Rationing is inevitable in a world of scarcity. You can ration by price: high monetary bid wins. You can ration by standing in line: first come, first served. You can ration by bureaucratic procedure: fill out forms. You can ration by favors: hello, baby. But there is always rationing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But not many patients are taking advantage of the law in Oregon to make this policy cost-effective for the government and families waiting for the inheritance. So, the elite in medicine is trying to get opinions changed.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New England Journal of Medicine<\/i>\u00a0has just published an article to speed up acceptance: \u201cRedefining Physicians\u2019 Role in Assisted Dying.\u201d It sounds so clinical. It is clinical. You can\u00a0read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
