¡¡¡¡Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who¡°until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medication to control their pain if that might hasten death.¡±

¡¡¡¡George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death.¡°It's like surgery,¡±he says.¡°We don't call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn't intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you're a physician, you can risk your patient's suicide as long as you don't intend their suicide.¡±

¡¡¡¡On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assistedª²suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.

¡¡¡¡Just three weeks before the Court's ruling on physicianª²assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science £¨NAS£© released a twoª²volume report, Approaching Death : Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of¡°ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying¡±as the twin problems of endª²ofª²life care.

¡¡¡¡The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospitalª²based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.

¡¡¡¡Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these wellª²meaning medical initiatives translate into better care.¡°Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering,¡±to the extent that it constiutes¡°systematic patient abuse.¡±He says medical licensing boards¡°must make it clear¡­¡­that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.¡±

¡¡¡¡Almost all our major problems involve human behavior, and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior, but we have been slow to develop the science from which such a technology might be drawn. 61£© One difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on. Physics and biology once followed similar practices and advanced only when they discarded them. 62£© The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because the explanatory items often seem to be directly observed and partly because other kinds of explanations have been hard to find. The environment is obviously important, but its role has remained obscure. It does not push or pull, it selects, and this function is difficult to discover and analyze. 63£© The role of natural selection in evolution was formulated only a little more than a hundred years ago, and the selective role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginning to be recognize
