RESTRICTING PERSPECTIVES IS UNJUST
 

All decisions, but especially life-long decisions require a complete understanding of the ramifications that will result from choices we make.  Restricting information from patients is unjust and untruthful.  Recommend that the board consider the case of Jamie Shupe before restricting patients from the full scope of impacts that these decisions may have on their lives.  Sharing all views with a patient does not harm but shows love and provides the patient with a complete perspective upon which they can make a sound decision.
