Dr. Wright's Idee, The address which attracted more at tentlou than uy other delivered at the recent annual tmutict of the New York State Medical association held Mt the Hotel Muulmttan In New York w made by a clergy ma u. the Kcv. Dr. Merle St C Wriht of llie Uuox Ave nue L'ulturliiu church In New York, Ue placed himself on record as favor lng eulhaiiasia, wlikl) lu luedioal :r lance Is the pulling of luvurablcs to death. The sucesllou which causitl much snrjiriso because of Us source, was received none the less with hearty applause, says the New York Times. Mr. Wrlsbt hud previously suggeMtetl that doctors ought really to teach tucli paUents more than they do and tlmi they might look uiku their profiskin a little more rrom. the ethical stand point perhaps. lUit when he touched on the subject of euthanasia he admit ted fraukly ih.it tt was simply a dream. As a dream, however, he bad no bcsil taney In advocating the doctrine. He recalled an lustauoe In which a man' life had becu savl after a disat r at Spuyten Duvvll, and be said: "They did save bis life, though for what practical purpose I canuot tell. unless possibly for dauuiKe suit. I appreciate the pructieal difficulties In the way of tbeappl!catlon of the dm trine, but It seems to tue that It Is not beyond the bounds of possibility. Ol course It would be necessary to have the advice and approval of men of tin highest sclentlflc attainment The clt might be divided luto districts, and or ery application should bo considered most carefully, not merely by pliysl clans, but by some eminent clerycmnn selected for the purpose. And. or course, there should be the consent of relatives aud the consent, even the re quest, of the patieut himself. Hut where all these conditions are fulfilM and where the prolongation of life I simply the prolongation of hopeless agony tt seems to me that It would W proper that such a patient should quiet ly, deceit My, modestly, be allowed to end the sufferings, tt seems to nie tli:;t such a course would be a stop forward In chillKition and a step further aw.ij from barbarism." Oue of the speakers after Mr. Wright was John 8. Wise, a former congn'Sts mnu of Yirginln. who said In part: "I cnuuot agree with some of the ad vice which some of your profession has received tonight. For either a law yer or a doctor to give too much In formation to bis clients or patients would be to give away the snap to the men who pay him. That would be tie- stroking the goose that ljJ4lllg.goy'n hand- awarded. eliable eg with vengeance, StUPies do 1 favor th advice that when pailt-ut become practically useless to kill 'em. I know of a country where that custom Is practiced, and If the gentleman Is really serious In his adyocaey ot It I will use all my Influence to secure him the mission. , . , "t hsve heard ot a gentleman who spent one summer op tn the arctic re gions and got very well acquainted with a rnrnily of natives, which Ip eluded tbo father ot the household, When he went there the next summer he missed th old gentleman and was luformed in a matter of fact way that tbo head ot the family had killed hit father. 'Yes,' he laid, he got so old he couldn't work, and so I shot him "Now. If say one likes that sort of way I guess that's Just the way that will suit him. But for some of us here I'm afraid the question would arise. Aren't ws getting along pretty close to papa's agel" Here are the views of several New York physicians on ths Rev. Merle Bt C Wright's theory: Dr. George P. Shrady said that mod era seleiies tended to an exactly op poslte course. "We are giving to ths weal the latest developments of practice and re search," said Dr. Shindy. "Persont once considered iueurablt are now amenable to successful treatment. It Is absurd to discuss ths dream of the clergyman with seriousness. lint hot than a step farther away from the bar barians, as be hits. It Is retrogressive toward ths practice of elimination which yet holds In some savage tribes It Is to ths glory of the medical pro fesslon that a case Is not considered without hope unUI tbe last vital spark Is extinguished." Dr. B. C. Spltxka believed that It would open the door to a criminal eon dltlon. There would be opportunity to do away with diseased persons for nl tcrlor motives. "Who shall say that a person should be disposed of r bs asked. Dr. Gill Wylle said that no doctor Is so Infallible that be will say a disease Is Incurable. "Nature, by kind provision, dulls the extreme sensibilities of many so culled suffering patients. Their relatives and friends suffer more than they do," was the way he put It. Dr. Andrew U. 8mlth recalled a car Where a laborer, caught In a cleft In a ledge by the rock dislodged by a blast, was badly crushed. There was no way to rescue bltn except by other blasts and be wns relieved of bis Injuries which were of themselves fatal, by death administered as painlessly n possible.
