Professor Preston referenced the idea of taking it out of the healthcare system entirely, if it is to be done. A recurring feature in our discussions is that many doctors and other healthcare professionals are disturbed by the experience of being involved. They think it compromises good palliative care and worry about the burdening of other people, as well as the changing of the doctor-patient relationship and all that. I refer to it being left to doctors who experience less dissonance or no dissonance, to use Professor Preston's term. Should we be concerned about the doctors who do not experience dissonance in the context of doing this?
