    Mm, nah. First, few remarks to set context:

    -the law is crap, no question about that

    -whole morality concept is also crap as fuck, but let’s say this crap did allow for some people to live longer and/or healthier

    And now for the neat part or why I won’t become a doctor unless forced by some apocalyptic shit: say, you know for sure the patient has caused and/or will cause immense harm and suffering to others (think killers and rapists, for example). Unless you are inhuman, you will doubt whether to help them and thus cause more suffering to other people or let this one die and prevent that, and there is nothing shitty about that.
