"The have two basic choices in any case:"

Nonsense. You left out the doc's stated intent, whwich was to sedate them through the ordeal. The 8mg morphine dose + versed is consistant with that.

NO! That is very clearly covered under option 2.

According to the affidavits attached to the indictment,Dr. Pou told no less than three executives of LifeCare, the long term care facility on this floor of the Tenet hospital, that a decision had been made to give lethal doses to selected patients. One of the persons to whom she told this was the pharmacy director. Why he dispensed the drugs, I'll never know.

You can bob and weave all that you want, but the conclusion is inescapable that the decision was made to give lethal doses of narcotics to these patients, that the reason, intended purpose, and unavoidable consequence of giving lethal doses to these patients was to kill them, that Dr. Pou and the 2 nurses gave lethal doses to the patients in order to kill them, and the patients died as a result.

These are the unavoidable facts and inescapable conclusions. You can deny it as some deny the Holocaust, but the truth is there.
