Does Professor Madden mean that she does not think that medical people's ethics should determine it? Would she not agree with me that it is the job of this committee to try to come to an agreement about what is ethical in each given situation and only on the basis of what we think is ethical to recommend a legal framework or indeed no change in the law? Is it not what we consider in our best assessment to be ethical in each case that must determine what we propose as to the law?
