Harvard affiliates have been powerful voices in this year’s debate over physician-assisted suicide—an unsurprising reality, given the effect the initiative could have on those at the Medical School, the School of Public Health, the 17 affiliated hospitals and research institutes, and even professors in the Law School or government department. David Jones, the A. Bernard Ackerman Professor of the Culture of Medicine at HMS; Lachlan Forrow, HMS associate professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Robert Truog, HMS professor of anaesthesia (pediatrics) at Boston Children’s Hospital; Marcia Angell, HMS senior lecturer on social medicine; and Lisa Lehmann, HMS associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, are quoted.
