That's the part I don't agree with, and why. If we're basing something on these standards - why are we considering the ama's standards and not some other objectionable groups as grounds for the ability to (and ethical responsibility to) waive a right?
The AMA specifically? Because it works with the government (federal and state sometimes) in constructing ethics codes, oversight committees, investigations, and standards. The AMA is bound by law and has an active role in discussing medical law, something I don't think you could attribute to your example of a slavery organization or torturers organization.
