You are a physician treating a terminally ill woman who is in a great deal of pain that no drug can relieve. She says she has lived a full life and now wants you to end her anguish by helping her die quickly and quietly. She has no known relatives. The American Medical Association's code of ethics absolutely forbids physician-assisted suicide, and the hospital where she is a patient has a similar policy. But you want to alleviate her agony and give her a chance to die with dignity. What would a virtuous person do?
