I understand your personal statement. As a collective segment of our culture, to abide training to terminate life, is beyond me to agree with you. Soon perhaps it will be mandatory study in medicine, to perform euthanasia, of course just for those that desire it.

But there is absolutely no sound medical rationale for this new training mandate. It is a purely political hammer intended to bully residents into abandoning their ethical principles.

I don't like much that is mandatory. If I, or someone about whom I cared, were to seek a painless release from an otherwise painful death, I would like it assisted by someone who would make it painless.
