Here's MTCW....

MJ grew up in a messed-up family. They say you are who you are going to be by the time you are six years old, pretty much.... so for him, that means he was pretty much doomed from an early age. His parents were busy sculpting a persona, not a person. They didn't give him the tool box necessary for him to have become a well-adjusted adult, with the relationship-building qualities necessary to allow people into his life that would benefit him in the way most people do through the healthy relationships they form.

So yeah... he is responsible for his own decisions, but he wasn't a healthy person and wasn't likely to *make* healthy decisions.

I think the doctors are responsible for their own poor judgment. They are board-certified individuals and I would assume that the judgment they used in over-prescribing meds, and prescribing meds that should never have been given to someone like MJ are cause for those Dr's to have their licenses revoked. They make an oath to do no harm, and clearly, they were complicit in giving what he wanted to further his sick needs rather than to further the true health of their patient.

Murder? No.

But cause to re-think their right to practice medicine? You betcha.
