Somebody else will do it," observes Dr. Lisa Tucker, who works at the Florida clinic where Dr. David Gunn was murdered seven years ago. Experts liken this debate to the one over physician-assisted suicide: "A lot of doctors believe in it but say they won't do it themselves because they don't need the hassle," says George Annas, a medical ethicist at Boston University School of Public Health.
