Who are these "medical personnel" performing these acts? I am a physician and I can tell you that force feeding these people is against our code of ethics. The physician overseeing their treatment should be 'outed' so that we can report this behavior to his/her licensing board.


Atul Gawande covers something very much like this in his book "Better."

WHo are the medical personnel assisting with executions? WHat are the arguments for and against participating in the death of a human being?


I totally agree with you. However, I can easily see how those physicians can justify their actions to themselves. "Do no harm" can be extrapolated in many ways by cruel people suffering from delusion.
