BOSTON — The lethal injection
of drugs as a form of capital punish
ment — already adopted by four
states — raises “serious ethical ques
tions” and physicians should refuse
to participate in such executions,
two Harvard Medical School experts
said recently.
Writing in the New England Jour
nal of Medicine, Professor William J.
Curran and Dr. Ward Casscells said
involvement of the medical profes
sion in drug-induced deaths repre
sents “a corruption and exploitation
of the healing profession’s role in
society. ”
“The growing adoption of these
programs raises serious ethical
issues for American physicians about
their continued and expanded parti
cipation in state-ordered executions
of human beings for crimes,” they
said.
Oklahoma, Texas, Idaho and New
Mexico have adopted laws requiring

capital punishment by drug injec
tions rather than electrocution or the
gas chamber. Florida is considering
such legislation.
“If the medical profession refuses
to cooperate with these laws then it
would effectively nullify them since
nurses and other health personnel
can only act on the direction and
under the supervision of physi
cians,” Curran, an expert in medical
law, said in an interview.
“No medical practice act of any
medical or allied health profession
licenses its members to kill,” he said.
Proponents of death by injection
say it is less painful and less expen
sive than the construction of a gas
chamber and that capital punish
ment statutes are less likely to be
strufck down by the courts as cruel
and unusual punishment.
Curran and Casscells noted that
physicians have historically played
various role in executions. But un
like other forms of capital punish
ment, they said the “continuous in
travenous injection” makes a doctor
“an active participant a key human
participant in the execution.”
The article said the injections also
violate the Hippocratic Oath which
all physicians are sworn to uphold.
The oath states in part:
“I will use treatment to help the
sick according to my ability and judg
ment but never with a view to injury
and wrong-doing. Neither will I
administer a poison to anyone when
asked to do so nor will I suggest such
a course.”
The article said physicians cannot
escape their responsibilities to the
oath by giving responsibility for pre
paring and injecting the drugs to
subordinates such as nurses.
“There may be medical colleagues
who genuinely disagree with some
or all of the positions taken above,” it
said. “Some will support capital pun
ishment, and some will sanction va
rious methods of quick relatively
painless execution. Some will sup
port medical participation in execu
tions in the interest of administering

“To be sure medicine has for cen
turies realized that one of its impor
tant functions is to comfort and re
lieve when unable to cure,” Current
and Casscells wrote. “There is no
thing new about medical participa

have been present at and have had
roles in official executions for cen

However it said, “The medical

AScM researchers fight
pests without chemical use
By CATHY SAATHOFF
Campus Reporter
A group ofTexas A&M University
researchers, working as part of a na
tional effort, are looking for an en
vironmentally safe, economical sys
tem of crop pest control.
The Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) program, led by Texas A&M’s
Dr. Perry Adkisson, is looking for
biological and cultural methods of
keeping farm pests below crop
damaging levels.
“Minimizing pesticide usage will
be very beneficial to man and anim
als,” said Dr. James Cate, state dire
ctor of IPM.
At the 15 universities involved,
250 researchers are looking at not
only the pests, but also the environ
ment they live in. Texas A&M has 12
reserachers studying cotton; the
overall project is concerned with
alfalfa, apples and soybeans as well.
Cate and his staff have been im
porting natural enemies of the boll
weevil from Mexico, hoping to find
one that will help control that pest in
the Brazos Valley.
IPM seeks to minimize reliance on
chemicals, because the drive for in
creased farm production has led to
increased pesticide usage, which
places a heavy financial burden on
the fanner as well as harming the
environment.
Heavy reliance on chemicals has
backfired by killing the natural ene
mies of some harmless insects,
allowing them to become problems.
Meanwhile, the original pests have
become immune to the chemicals.
“We want to use pesticides wise
ly,” Cate said. He added that a few
insects on crops are expected, but
when the levels get dangerously
high something must he done.
By considering each pest in its
ecological niches, the researchers
hope to establish a program which
will allow farmers to increase pro
duction while cutting costs and con
serving energy.
“The central core strategy of the
IPM is based on the ecology of the
system,” Cate said.
Cultural control involves timing of
planting and harvesting. Also, har
dier strains of plants are being de
veloped, which will resist pests.
