Isn't it bizarre when people try to get us to shun medical or technological advances that make our life more pleasant by telling us that the inventor or main proponent of said advance was Not A Nice Person?

I mean, suppose we find out that Thomas Edison was cruel to animals? That Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner? (Gasp!) That the blood-transfusion guy Charles Drew smacked his wife or something? Should we go without light, liberty, and blood transfusions as some sort of protest? Bizarre.

Hi ane. I don't mind if you disagree, but I would hope you would tacitly admit that it not so easy to just "dismiss" the article as if it is worthless. What specifically is it that you disagree with him about? Discipline?
