Certainly I can imagine it. As any physician who has provided palliative care does, I prescribe lethal doses of drugs to patients all the time without the expectation that they will take them.
Just to clarify that for the committee, if I have a patient who has terminal cancer, for instance, that patient will go home perhaps with a dose of medication that, if you or I had it, would be terminal. The striking thing to me is that I cannot recall, in my personal experience, any patient who has chosen to take their medication in that fashion.
I think the real challenge, if you're prescribing medications at a distance and sending them through the mail and they're being administered by the patient's family or a nurse, is to know what happens when things go wrong. I don't really want to make this comparison, but there have been cases in which death by lethal injection in the States has gone badly wrong, and those are cocktails delivered by physicians. I would hate to think of some nurse in Grise Fiord who has that kind of experience.
