January, 1937 EDITORIAL NOTES 1

Editorial Notes.Debates on Voluntary Euthanasia.

The recent debate in the House of Lords, and the organized discussion inthe Hunterian Society of London, have afforded, on a considerable scale, anopportunity of judging both medical and non-nedical opinion on the proposalto authorize under certain conditions the practice of voluntary euthanasia. Thebroad effect of these discussions is, for anything like immediate purposes, to putthe proposal out of court, and the Society formed to advocate the practice hasevidently to face a volume and quality of opposition which, to judge fromearlier announcements, had been but little anticipated.

While doctors, as such, have necessarily a special word to say in the debate,alike as to the need for the proposal, the effect of its adoption, and the meansof carrying it into effect, they will naturally turn with particular interest tocontributions made outside the ranks of the profession. Certain ecclesiasticalauthorities, as was known in advance, have no words other than those of unquali-fied condemnation, and from these quarters the Bill was described as an attemptto legalise murder and suicide, and was met by the assertion that as a matterof moral principle no man was entitled voluntarily to take his own life. Not allclerical voices, however, affirm this principle; some indeed agree that an extremityof pain associated with the prospect of impending death may justify both a deter-mination to terminate life and the collaboration of the doctor to this end. Herearises an attempt to establish a subtle distinction between pain which has ethicalvalue and pain which has not this quality-a point which, together with othermoral and religious considerations, hardly comes within the competence of thisJournal.

More to the purpose is it to note the repeated appreciation of the distressingand serious responsibility which the Bill would impose upon members of themedical profession, and a decided shrinking from the intrusion of official personsand official forms into a privacy which in the highest measure claims reverenceand regard. In more than one quarter, too, it was recognized that while nomi-nally the initiative and the choice must be solely with the patient it would beimpossible to exclude other voices, and painful debates among famnilies andfriends would be more than probable. That is, relief to the patient from physicalpain might well mean increased mental doubt and distress for others. Relatedto this aspect of the question is the issue whether a patient in the circumstancescontemplated by the Bill can be regarded as competent to judge the moral andother issues involved.

Another feature of the House of Lords debate was 'the widespread and com-plete confidence expressed in the competence and trustworthiness of the medicalprofession to meet, in fact, the situations which actually arise, recognizing thesanctity of human life and the fallibility of human judgment while not forgettingthe claim that suffering must be relieved. Speaker after speaker expressed theconviction that no need had been shown for any legal or formal modification ofthe existing position, and even the advocates of euthanasia were ready torecognize that the conditions contemplated by the Bill would be of infrequentoccurrence. The medical speakers in the debate supported this view on the basisof personal experience without pretending to discuss certain ethical issues which

2 POST-GRADUATE MEDICAL JOURNAL January, 1937

from other points of view had been introduced quite naturally into the dis-cussion. And personally we have little doubt that the views thus expressed carrythe considered judgment of the large majority of the members of the medicalprofession. Put briefly, this judgment is that official regulations and procedurewould complicate and make difficult a situation which is at present adequatelymet by personal and competent judgment formed in each instance by a know-ledge of the actually existing situation.

Reference to the discussion in the Hunterian Society finds the well wornarguments both on the one side and on the other. The introducer claimedeuthanasia as one of the great reforms of the age, while a concluding speaker,having listened to the case presented on its behalf was, even more firmly thanbefore, strongly opposed to the practice. A philosopher joined in the condemna-tion while a supporter found comfort in the failure of opposition to cremation andother resisted changes. A certain measure of liveliness was introduced by theassertion of a member that ever since he had been in practice he had administeredeuthanasia and that, legally or illegally, he should continue to do so. Hints tothe same effect have appeared in other discussions and have been used byadvocates of the Bill to claim that as the practice exists it would be better thatit should be conducted under legal regulations rather than be left to personaldecision and initiative. The answer, as given in the course of the debate, isthat no doctor is justified in deliberately putting a patient to death. That hemay be compelled to run risks in the relief of pain is no doubt true, as he maybe compelled to run risks in other circumstances, as for example in persistentinsomnia during an acute illness, or in the administration of an anaesthetic for asurgical operation; and he must judge for himself whether the risk is necessaryor advisable. But that a practitioner of set determination should poison a patientis indefensible alike by the legal and the moral code. To relieve suffering whichis itself a danger to life is a professional duty and no practitioner should shrinkfrom it even though it means some peril; it is the lesser of two evils and needsno defence. The recent agitation has done nothing effective to disturb thisposition, and, at least for some time, the legal approval of voluntary euthanasia isoutside the field of practical politics.

Mind versus Matter.

We should have thought that at this period of our civilization mind wouldhave received more consideration than matter. Yet such does not seem to be thecase for the daily press, our politicians and even the majority of our education-alists are constantly preaching that an improved physique is the most importantdesideratum of the population of today, and, whatever they believe, they certainlysuggest that if this could be brought about all the troubles of the body, and of thebody politic as well, would disappear. The means by which it is suggested thatthis object may be attained are many and vary from time to time. There wasthe slogan " Eat More Fruit " which was later replaced by " Drink More Milk,"but today it is "Jerk Every Day " and no man is held to be doing himselfjustice unless he has every day a course of physical exercise.

January, 1937 ExDITORIAL NOTES 3

This call for general daily physical exercise seems somewhat uncalled forin view of the amount of walking which many individuals perform every day inthe course of their work. This often amounts to many miles, and that in the mostunexpected quarters, as shown by the recent tests with the pedometer. We alsofeel that the amount of physical exercise considered necessary for health is muchexaggerated. This question of exercise seems to us to be as much a psychicalas a physical matter. Some men and women think they do not feel well withouta habitual strenuous week-end on the golf course or on the highway, while othersagain never feel better than when they have had a lazy time and have had anopportunity of repaying some of the sleep which they have borrowed during theweek. No doubt, too, the amount of food and drink consumed is a factor whichdetermines the manner in which the interlude between the working weeks is spent.

But, apart from all this, is it true that the physical condition of our peopleis so deplorable? We learn every year from the Reports of the Chief SchoolMedical Officer that the children age for age are becoming taller and heavier andthat they present less disease, fewer deformities and more evidence of parentalcare. We have also just learned from the Chief Medical Officer of the Post Office")that, so far as London boys and girls are concerned, those seeking employmentin this service five years ago were much superior physically to those who pre-sented themselves for service twenty-five years ago. The boys on the averagewere i6 lbs. heavier and I1 inches taller and the girls IO lbs. heavier and i inchtaller. All this is surely ample evidence that the physical conditions of the peopleare steadily improving and hence it is difficult to understand the report that anexcessive number of young men are refused entrance to the Army because ofphysical unfitness. It may be, of course, that the standard of fitness set by theArmy is unreasonably high.

In the second place, is physical excellence the all-important matter that isbeing claimed for it today? Will this world progress and become a more desirableresidence for mankind in this way? We personally doubt it. We are not animalsbeing bred for the racecourse, but we are men. And it is the possession of anlind which differentiates us from the beasts, and it is the type of mind which wepossess which- will determine the future course of civilization. We do not fora moment decry physical fitness. It certainly engenders that comfortable feelingof well-being but it is very questionable if it will be the protection against disease,at least infectious disease, that it is generally credited with.

In any case, everything points to a general improvement in the physical fitnessof the people; there has been since the war a general rise in the standard of living(better food, better clothing and better housing) which could not fail to bear fruit,and we have no doubt that as social amenities are further improved greater materialbenefits will accrue. Can we, however, take the same optimistic view concerningthe intelligence of our race ? Intelligence is an hereditary characteristic andunfortunately it is among the more intelligent section of the community that thebirth rate shows the most marked decline. The late Dr. Shepherd Dawson drewattention to this point some years ago and quite recently Dr. R. B. Catell12) hasreturned to the same question. Like Shepherd Dawson, he finds that the mostprolific section of the population is the least intelligent, and, owing to the dis-appearance of the differential death rate, no doubt in part as a consequence of

(1 Post Office Medical Service, Green Paper, No. 31, A.(21 The Eugenics Review, 1936, xxviii, 181.

4 POST-GRADUATE MEDICAL JOURNAL January, 1937

child welfare activities, he predicts a steady and indeed a rapid increase in theproportion of individuals of subnormal intelligence, as gauged by the standardsof today. According to Catell there will be a 24 per cent. increase in thirty yearsand, if present conditions are not changed, more than one half of the populationwill be mentally defective within 300 years. There is no doubt that there is muchtruth in Dr. Catell's thesis and his warning is timely. Foltunately, as some com-pensation for such a gloomy picture, Dr. Catell suggests a remedy which wouldgo some way to delay, if not to hinder, the decline and fall of our race and whichmay be summarized as follows:-

(i) Adequate birth-control facilities for poor as well as rich.(2) Subsidize the intelligent child, no matter the social status, and thus

encourage the parents to provide it with brothers and sisters.(3) Increase the income-tax allowances for children and diminish those

for marriage.(4) Education of the community in eugenics and bring home necessity

for parenthoQd.

The Milk-Drinking Habits of School Children.()Dr. Norman Wright of the Hannah Dairy Research Institute has just

published the account of a novel and ingenious method of attempting to gaininformation regarding the frequency with which the school child obtains milk,in short the milk-drinking habit of the child. The information was obtained bysetting the child at school a memory exercise in which he was asked to answercertain questions concerning the food which he had received on the previousday. The questions included what he had for breakfast, e.g.-porridge and milk,at dinner-milk or tea, at tea time and at bed time; if he had milk between hismeals and if he got milk at school or at home, and finally what did he like .bestto drink, e.g. cocoa, coffee, milk, tea or water. The test was set in September1935, i.e., about one year after the milk-at-school scheme was started but beforeit had become general, and it was given to I4,555 children in the State-aidedschools in rural, mining and urban districts of Scotland, those in the latterincluding poor, artisan and suburban classes of children. It was thought thatin this way the habits of the child with regard to milk-drinking could be dis-covered, and further, that if the test were repeated after some five years, thesuccess of the various measures instituted to stimulate milk consumption wouldbe learned.

As Dr. Wright states, "The outstanding fact revealed in the enquiry is thesmall extent to which milk is normally drunk by children of school age." NIorethan half of the children never drank milk at all, and roughly two thirds of theremainder only took it once; only 3 per cent. of the children drank milk threetimes or more daily. On the other hand, it was found that only 5 per cent. of thechildren failed to take tea once and 50 per cent. took it three or more times perday.

It was rather a revelation to find that in Scotland only 25 per cent. of schoolchildren took porridge to breakfast and even when those who got porridge atsome other meal were included this proportion was only raised to 33 per cent.

(1) An Enquiry into the Drinking Habits of Children of School Age with Special Reference to MilkDrinking. By Norman C. Wright, M.A., Ph.D. Published by Hannah Dairy ResearchInstitute, Keikhill, Ayr. 1936.

January, 1937 EDITORIAL NOTES 5

that the milk-in-school scheme may, however, have a beneficial effect andencourage the child's taste for milk is suggested by the fact that the childrenwho most frequently take milk at school are those of the suburban (best social)class who are more in the habit of receiving it at home and thus have acquiredthe taste for it. However, against this optimistic feature it is to be recorded thatduring the last i8 months there has been a definite falling-off in the amount ofmilk consumed in the schools. This may be " due to the wearing off of novelty"but that such is not the whole explanation is suggested by the fact that thisfalling-off is most marked in the best schools. Hence Dr. Wright believes thatif the scheme is " ultimately to achieve the success- envisaged at its inception,the only course will be to provide free milk to all school children."

It is to be hoped that Dr. Wright will be given facilities for repeating thisenquiry in the same schools in a few years' time, and that he will be able to recordthat the expense incurred by the country in financing the milk-in-school schemehas been worth while.

Medical Classics.There has just appeared a new medical periodical with the above title which

we are sure will be welcomed by the profession and which is bound to increaseinterest in the history of medicine. The pages in this new journal published inBaltimore are to be devoted to biographical sketches of the pioneers in medicinewith reprints of the original articles in which these masters have described thediscoveries and views which have made their names immortal.

It will be pleasant news to our compatriots to learn that the first number(September I936) of this new journal is devoted to Sir James Paget. There is areproduction of the well-known portrait by Millais, a short biographical sketch,a chronological list of all his publications with reprints of his original articles on"Osteitis Deformans" and "Disease of the Mammary Areola Preceding Cancer of theMammary Gland." Photographic reproductions of the first pages of these articlesand of the plates illustrating the original article on Osteitis Deformans are alsoincluded.

The second issue (October I936) was devoted to the work of Sir Charles Belland in future issues the life and work of Addison, Banti, Brodie, Colles, Fowler,Hodgkin and Pott will be reviewed.

The whole Journal has a pleasing appearance, the paper is good, the typeclear and dignified, and the illustrations on special art paper are magnificentlyreproduced. As already mentioned, it is an American publication from the Pressof thfe Williams & Wilkins Company, Baltimore, and is edited by Emerson CrosbyKelly, M.D. Messrs. Bailliere Tindall & Cox, 8, Henrietta Street, W.C.2, arethe agents for the British Empire. There will be ten numbers per year, appearingmonthly except during August and September, and the annual subscription is47 / - (post free).
