EDITOR—I agree completely with Roberts (letter above).
Two wrongs don't make a right, and just because Saddam Hussein has committed many evil acts does not release doctors from the duty of care: if we were allowed moral judgments we might have many fewer patients.
The doctors who examined Saddam Hussein should have insisted on privacy, dignity, and confidentiality for their patient.
