Tens - perhaps hundreds - of thousands of trees could have been spared over the last forty-five years had opponents of physician-assisted death only been content to let Yale Kamisar be their exclusive spokesperson.

That article demonstrated remarkable prescience and intellectual honesty while shaping the content of opposition to PAD. Kamisar continued to participate in the debate for decades thereafter, always exhibiting remarkable intellectual honesty and insight. Kamisar's special insights started with his prediction about the legal status of a physician's withholding of LSMT.
