MODULE 7 :: DISCUSSION BOARD

Please answer the following questions as a discussion board post. You do not need to reply to your peers.

1. Why did the small group of doctors decide to meet? What decisions were made at this gathering? At the official gathering in the morning?
2. Finally, the open conversation about euthanasia comes out. What side does Dr. Deichmann take? Can you tell that Susan Mulderink thinks? Dr. Pou? Dr. Cook? What are your thoughts?
3. What tensions arise between caring for pets and caring for people? Do you think that somehow euthanizing pets made it easier for some of the medical staff to accept euthanizing patients? Later boats allowed the evacuation of pets, making the earlier deaths senseless.
4. How are you feeling as the last of the patients who will leave Memorial alive load onto the helicopters?
