Mortimer told delegates at the British Medical Association congress in Torquay that it is morally wrong to extend the worn out lives of very old patients with painful or extraordinary means. He argued ordinary means should avoid grave hardship and offer a reasonable hope of success, noting death may bring little benefit to aged patients.
