I realized tonight, doctors are utilitarians. They have to decide who lives, and who dies. They are sometimes placed it the position where they have to decide to do the most good for the most people. Kantion ethics has no place in a modern ER. There is no absolute, no black and white. That's one of the reasons I've never been able to sign an organ donation card. I've heard that Italian doctors in Milan are having to decide who dies. It's all like a bad dream.
