Perhaps the best was a presidential commission established under President Carter that developed broad policy guidelines on some of the most controversial issues in medicine, such as deciding when brain death has occurred or when it is ethically correct for a doctor to withhold treatment.

Before revealing the survey's results, the professor asked all 500 of us shopping the class which experience we thought was the popular choice for most painful. The student response was immediate and correct, at least according to the survey's results: the cavernous hall erupted with shouts of "Kansas...
