The college of physicians has amended its code of ethics to open the door to medical assistance in dying. In my view, and by age-old medical tradition, taking a person's life is not providing them with care.
Personally, I refer patients to those who will provide them with care that will help them, not care that will do them harm. Sometimes patients ask us for procedures, operations or medications. If we feel that that will do them harm, we refuse. I could give you thousands of examples but I feel that everyone is aware of them.
If a surgeon refuses to do a certain operation, he is not going to refer a patient to another surgeon who will do it. No way. Surgeons can tell patients that they are free to consult other surgeons if they wish. But one surgeon is not going to refer a patient to another surgeon if he is going to harm that patient.
