I can still remember and old ER co-worker's comment when they wheeled in a completely paralyzed pt "they should just let him go" and apparently this guy acted on his belief with some carefully calculated criteria.
"Currie said the hospital worker told him some of the deaths were caused by lethal injections; others were caused by decreasing oxygen to patients on ventilators."Okay, so I agree that the lethal injections were active killing, which is not what the patients asked for, but decreasing the oxygen on a ventilator is pretty much the definition of resuscitation.

I wouldn't touch a defendant like this with a twenty foot pole.
