Current Event- Doctor

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/03/03/transplant.trial/index.html

Doctor is accused of expediting patients death and faces 8 years of prison. The reason for the doctor's actions were to use the patients organs. By the time the patient had died, however, the organs weren't even usable. It's hard because it is sad how many doctors are being sued and put on trial. They work hard everyday at one of the most important jobs in the country and are being discouraged from doing the right thing. It is bigger than this case so it's hard to say that what this doctor did was wrong or right, but it is easy to say that that certainly is not how all doctors act around and with their patients.
