THE SORRY PLIGHT OF THE IVORY TOWER

Abstract

One of the numerous unpleasant regimens of medical practice in the face of management of an 
incurable, agonizing morbid condition is mercy killing at the behest of the patient or his/her next of kin. 
Little did we realize in this country that the regimen of euthanasia will be applied to our citadels of 
higher learning — the universities. It is needless to say that our higher institutions are mere collating 
centers where lecturers assemble to collate and review old publications in the present circumstance to 
save their face
