The practice of voluntary physician-assisted death as a last resort is compatible with doctors' duties to practice competently, to avoid harming patients unduly, to refrain from medical fraud, and to preserve patients' trust. It therefore does not violate physicians' professional integrity.
将自愿的医生协助死亡作为最后手段的做法,与医生胜任本职工作、避免过度伤害患者、杜绝医疗欺诈以及维护患者信任的职责是相符的。因此,它并不违背医生的职业操守。
