Ok, let's look at that.  Suppose there is something that is illegal that your 
doctor could help you with.  Would you advocate that you not get needed help, 
or, would you figure that those who made it illegal were in error?

Let's consider some terminal, weeks to live, and in great pain.  Some drugs are 
illegal, but could help with the pain.  Should a doctor do all possible, 
including illegal drugs, to ease the pain and suffering?
