I feel like this is a huge red flag. If people who live in a country where it is legal and want it to be banned. that probably means it does more harm then good. I would trust the opinions of people who have experienced it in their country rather then those who are just assuming that it will be better.

This reminds me of the train situation from class. Where is was more moral to kill someone or let someone die as long as you had the right intentions. In the situation I would say that they are basically the same. Your intention is to end their suffering and not to just kill them. In either case, if they some how got better or killing them failed, you would be happy for them. Both methods have the same outcomes.

It is weird to think about how your physician might know more about you than your own family or friends. That is something that I just accepted and didn't think about. When it is said like this, it makes me want to take a step back and think about what I'm actually doing.

I feel like this quote is very extreme when it talks about how devoted to your profession you have to be. Although I can understand how with something like medicine this is very important. If you didn't have your heart and character into it. you would not be helping your patient to the best of your abilities.

After reading this I can definitely see why you wouldn't want to call physicians a trade. You wouldn't want to someone who is taking care of you to just be going through the motions, doing the same thing that they did the day before. I feel like jobs that have a lot of changes and surprises should be called professions while jobs that tend to stay the same everyday can be called trades.
