ANOTHER effort is being made to punish Dr. Hurry J.
JJaiscldcn of Chicago for refusal to operate upon a
defective babe to save its life.
Great heaps of written rubbish have been piled up foi
and against tho physician's action, Sentimental sob-sis
ters are declaring for and against infanticide when prac
ticed upon defectives.
Probably every plrysieian has, in the course of his prac
tice, found instances where his conscience justified refusal
to follow the established code. The physician's calling is
to relievo suffering, rather than perpetuate misery.
Dr. Haiselden's chief offence is capitalizing his act of
Humanity or inhumanity, as you choose to view it. lie used
a brass band of publicity to parade, bringing both himself
aild the unfortunate family he attended in the spotlight,
lie commercialized tho advertising he secured, losing no
time in securing contracts for newspaper and magazine
ariielcs and for appearances upon the lecture platform.
When anyone exploits his own acts as meritorious for
the sake of coining money he arouses suspicion of his sin
cerity. The verdict of the coroner's jury of six leading
Chicago physicians, who held that there was no proof that
the slaughtered babe was defective, coupled with ilaisel
den's penchant for publicity, arouses tho suspicion that
Dr. ITaiselden is something of a fakir.
Given the same circumstances, not one in a hundred
thousand physicians would consider it proper or ethical
GOLD
to conduct Jus case m the newspapers. Jlumairlifc is too
sacred a thing to be bargained for publicity. A physician's
relation with his patients are too confidential to parade
in the press. The yellow journals are nb balm for a moth-
mm
er's agony.
!If Dr. ITaiselden has sinned, it is not in an error of hon
est judgment it is in sacrificing a human life for adver
tising advantages.
