[If a doctor can decide whether a life is worth living, “it changes medicine into a form of social engineering where the aim is to maximise the benefit for society and minimise those who are perceived as worthless”. ]
That about says it all. It's all about "playing God" and (God knows) doctors love to do that. For some, it's why they go into the profession in the first place.
