He claims the facts were not in dispute, then misstates the "facts," and neglects to note that there was more than one medical expert, nor just a cleric, who disputed the conclusions of the doctors seeking the death of [Samuel Golubchuk]. As a neurologist, I, and all those who read the chart or my affidavit (and the affidavit of an ICU expert) know that Mr. Golubchuk was not, as [Adrian Fine] states, suffering primarily from multi-stroke dementia, nor was he dying.
Fine's lack of knowledge of the basic medical facts in this case are compounded by his cavalier assertion that there is "a significant division of opinion on end-of-life issues within [Jewish] Orthodoxy," based apparently on his having done a Google search. I can speak with some more direct knowledge here. I recently particip...

A physician's primary responsibility is to the patient and, whereas the family's emotional turmoil may generate sympathy, it cannot be allowed to force the physician to administer therapy against his or her conscience. One potential exception to this, which was invoked in this case, was the argument that the patient would have wanted this therapy. This argument presents a considerable ethical problem for me because of the assumption that no person of rational mind would want to undergo such extraordinary therapy and suffering in their terminal few weeks if they fully understood what this entailed. The irony should not be lost here -- a physician is required to obey the command of a demented, dying patient to prolong his suffering and death whereas society does not allow a physician to a...
