"...should be used for medical experiments, according to several top bioethicists, regardless of whether or not prior consent was obtained."

I know what you mean. I've always said that if you're ever flat on your back in a hosital bed and you see a pink, bland, bspectacled face loom,ing over you and the word "ethicist," talk -- talk --- keep talking --- and reach for your gun.

Once again affirming my deep conviction that anyone who styles himself an "ethicist" should be put to death for the well-being of humanity.

I used to read the "Hastings Report" from the Hastings Center, at our medical library. This nazi-inspired crap has been going on for many years, under the figleaf of "ethics." "Bioethicists" are truly the outlyers of the culture of death.

Under the guise of 'quality of life'.

Lest it be forgotten, allow me to note that "hillarycare" had a Board on Quality of Life, a gaggle of anonymous government bureaucrats, who were to sit in judgment of "marginal cases" and play "Eenie Meenie Miney Moe, you shall live and you shall go."

All for cost effectiveness, of course.

Dr. Mengele has been reincarnated.

It's "NewSpeak." War is Peace. Love is Hate. And "bioethecists" have ethics.

Outside of states that sponsored mass murder, these so called "bioethecists" would have been tarred, feathered, run out of town on a rail, of possibly strung up in the past. Now they're made full professors and given tenure.

Patients designated as in a “persistent vegetative state (PVS)” should be used for medical experiments, according to several top bioethicists

And they call themselves ethicists??? @#$%^&*!

Again I'm wondering, are we really in Hell and just won't admit it?

Regardless, he said, their bodies should be used for medical research. Repeating a common fallacy of the bioethics debate on PVS, Curry stated that such patients will not recover. “Those who are in a PVS will not ever wake up, they feel no pain or discomfort and have no continuing interest in their own survival…”

Ghoul.
