Can a healer kill a Hitler

situation:
A mass murderer that plans to kill further comes to a doctor.(house season 6;the tyrant)
a)should the doctor treat him?
b)The doctor concedes to treat but plans to kill the patient by intentionally committing the mistake: is this right?

The person on getting healthier is going to kill a big number of people and inflicting a great pain on humanity.Although it might be against the law or risk the doctors life.
The other opinion is this that doctor should do his job and leave the job of dealing with murderer to the people it belongs to.
My opinion is that the doctor should refuse to take this case outright and if he concedes to treat, he should treat honestly. Although it would be best to kill the psychopath but its not the duty of a doctor.

  1. yes it is a paradox.And no extreme stance can be taken.
    IT is the same kind of paradox the religious zealots create for sulaiman taseer.
    So the society shouldn't hail such people as heroes.Depending on weather it actually did save the lives of other people law can take a soft stance.

  2. But the religion does not allow to break the law of country unless it makes impossible to practice the basics of the religion like stopping to pray.It is not the same thing as preventing 2nd marriage(in which case not obeying the law will is a right move)
    religion expounds to obey the authorities.
    so in this case taking the law in your hand actually goes against religion.
    the crime being preferring personal will over the will of God.
