I fully agree with you. This is the rational decision to make, and the best one, considering the fallibility of humans.

At the same time though, we need to realize that this is primarily about protecting the health professionals and care givers, and only indirectly the sick. (The sick will of course indirectly profit from professionals being just that - professional, but only in the "long term".)

We should have no delusions about willingly letting people die, in the name of professionalism, just to have a clean concience and the ability to claim to have done nothing wrong.
