Academy of Medicine on Wednesday expressed its "opposition" to the establishment of injection rooms for drug addicts, believing that they could ask doctors supervise what it calls "poisoning medically assisted.
After several meetings on the subject and after consulting experts, the academy said - in a statement adopted by 61 votes against 12 abstentions and 6 - the provision of injecting rooms "would go out, de facto, the drugs most damage to the illegal status they are now." This could "call into question the repulsive image that should keep them to avoid confusion in the population as a whole and, in particular among youth," said the Academy.
She also believes you can not ask doctors "to supervise or even to engage in such poisonings medically assisted. "In endorsing, even indirectly, injection of a non-sterile solution of an unidentified substance, the supervising physician would engage its responsibility. "Furthermore," the material means that inevitably mobilize this important initiative would be better used to strengthen prevention efforts and cessation assistance, "said the Academy, which" can only express its opposition to such a project.
A little common sense at last!
