Petition Action

Placebo in heart attacks

Additional Information

The proposed use of placebos in heart attack cases is unethical and very disturbing. Please don't play Russian roulette with people's lives.This maybe medically ethical but not ethical in general human terms. Doctors are not god and sometimes need reminding that individual patients and their relatives may not regard potential to death as being justified for the greater good of humanity.HOME»HEALTH»HEALTH NEWS
