should people that unsuccessfully comit suicide be resucitated?

[Dodece]

I would say the doctors behaved unethically. They have failed utterly as medical practitioners. They had an obligation to be dispassionate. They obviously failed to do so. Putting their desires before the rights of a patient. Further more in doing so they have done grievous harm to said patient. Even more tragically they have harmed society with their actions. This recklessness is in part the cause of so many problems.

With every tale of a doctor forcing a treatment upon someone against their wishes. More and more people become reluctant to seek out treatment. They are afraid the doctor is going to harm them. They are afraid that the doctor is going to force a treatment upon them. This is the real price of this kind of behavior. Doctors need to understand their place is no different then any other public servant. They are not the masters of what is right and wrong.

A doctors job is not to fight death at any cost. Their job is to heal and to treat. At the very least they are to do no harm. In this instance they did none of these things. In fact they did the exact opposite, and more to the point they seem to be proud about what they have done. This is the definition of developing a god complex. The notion that what you do is always right, and you have a right to do as you see fit.

The reality is life isn't sacred. Living is sacred. Taking joy in life is sacred. There is nothing sacred about suffering. Sometimes life ends before the body concedes the point. In which case it is in the will that resolution is found. Suicide is a testament to human will, and the inequity of our existence. These doctors and I would rather call them deviants are just antiquated throwbacks to a bygone era. The same as the doctors who quoted scripture while they shunned the use of anesthetics. Oh the pain is sacred they would say that is the patient and god talking.

The medical establishment is still wrestling with the fact that death is the only outcome of life. There is no crime in hastening it anymore so then arriving at a party early. The aversion is only a matter of taste.
