I, Rohini Shah, am a Virginia dentist opposed to the petition to adopt the ADA's Code of Ethics, as it is an attempt to circumvent the legislature. In addition to this attempt, in order for a petitioner to file such a petition, there must be reason to believe there is an ethics issue in Virginia dentistry. Even if that were the case, although the ADA's clinical and educational guidelines are very useful, the tops of ethics should be developed by Virginians. Please reject the petition.
