Dr. Gregory segards his bill as a humant measure, some twenty years ahead of the age- He must know that it is more than twenty cen. turies behind the age, enthanasia having been practised with the authorization of law only by the Spanions, and it is strange that, if it be a hamana censure, homanity should have abap- doned it for more than sixty generations. It is 1565 the common sense of ali humanity that the life or death of an afflicted person must be left to Providence, and that the supreme duty of the physician is to prevent or rather to retard the end, so far as lies within his power. When, a man who is a physician as well as a legislator dsc'ang^abahtıb"riciana.gpd.surgeons through. matter he brings the medical profession into disrepute. He justifies that dread of the hoi-T pital which, as every charity worker will tell, i common to the poor and unfortunate who stand" mort in need of what the hospital should give, He at once advertises and stultifies himself.

The Spartans would have killed Byron because he had a club foot and the Constable de Bourdon because he had a crooked back.

Scarron would have been destroyed when stricken with paralysis, and France would have lost the million laughs which were worth several lives.
