I do embrace technology and medical advances...i point out that many of the ‘life and death ‘decisions we “debate” today as they are now presented to us, were not available 70 years ago.
A burst appendix by the way is still a big deal...however, years ago the person would have died and there would be no discussion. Now, we have moved so far ahead, that these decisions are not so ‘clear cut”...that is, the whole picture of death and dying HAS changed.
And we are faced with grappling with our moral issues again with new realities that humans did not have to face 70 years ago.Ergo, a “debate”, ie discussion which is the talking out again of our moral decisions.
There is NO DEBATE, society has ALWAYS taken advantage of technological advances.
