    Doctors swear an oath, “first, do no harm.” So yes we can blame the doctors!

    Doctors are supposed to behave ethically regardless of the law. This is not a new thing! Doctors providing appropriate treatment despite the law is a very fucking long tradition in medicine.

      It isn’t. Name one time that happened.

      “Do no harm” doesn’t mean “risk your livelihood and freedom to perform an operation that a patient can get elsewhere”.
