He finds himself unable to answer their objections, but nevertheless, he goes ahead and writes a friend already in Algeria, who promises to put Vincent and Francoise up for a while, and get them started in jobs.

The issue centers so much on individual beliefs, morals and judgments, and the merits of each individual situation that physicians are always going to come under fire from some group if they make the issue an open one. Many will candidly admit a vehement opposition to actual mercy killing, but say that they may no longer elect, for instance, to give penicillin to treat the pneumonia of a terminal cancer patient...
