Hello Professor and class.
This is an intense case study! However, I believe that Will's request to reprogram the morphine machine was his way of expressing his ending battle to cancer and overall health at the time. I admire and respect his strength, even when he felt he was loosing control. We as outsiders, don't realize how difficult it is for the patient to even fathom the thought of making medical decisions for themselves, under the circumstances. The emotions involved in the process become very real, and eventually begin to take it's toll on the patients mind, body and soul. Should a law be passed making it legal for physicians to honor requests like Will's to have his morphine pump reprogrammed? Honestly, I'm a little uncertain about
