It would come as no surprise that many readers may be shocked and
intrigued by the title of our book. Some (especially our medical
colleagues) may wonder why it is even worthwhile to raise the issue
of killing by doctors. Killing is clearly an- thetical to the Art
and Science of Medicine, which is geared toward easing pain and
suffering and to saving lives rather than smothering them. Doctors
should be a source of comfort rather than a cause for alarm.
Nevertheless, although they often don't want to admit it, doctors
are people too. Physicians have the same genetic library of both
endearing qualities and character defects as the rest of us but
their vocation places them in a position to intimately interject
themselves into the lives of other people. In most cases,
fortunately, the positive traits are dominant and doctors do more
good than harm. While physicists and mathematicians paved the road
to the stars and deciphered the mysteries of the atom, they
simultaneously unleashed destructive powers that may one day bring
about the annihilation of our planet. Concurrently, doctors and
allied scientists have delved into the deep secrets of the body and
mind, mastering the anatomy and physiology of the human body, even
mapping the very molecules that make us who we are. But make no
mistake, a person is not simply an elegant b- logical machine to be
marveled at then dissected.
