Hello MORETHANWORDS<br /><br />I have another answer to the following essay:  <p>You are the State Medical Officer in a very conservative Southern US state. You are appointed and serve at the pleasure of the Governor. The physician at the State Penitentiary has recommended that an inmate on Death Row undergo open heart surgery for critical coronary artery disease. The inmate was arrested in the act of dismembering a 3 year old child, following his kidnap, rape and torture. The inmate is expected to be executed by lethal injection within the next 24 months. The Governor has asked for your opinion. Discuss.<br /><br />The limit is 500 words.  Let me know if you think I have answered the question adequately.<br /><br />Best Regards<br />slwstng</p>
