 Five
years after it exploded into a political conflagration over “death
panels,” the issue of paying doctors to talk to patients about
end-of-life care is making a comeback, and such sessions may be covered
for the 50 million Americans on Medicare as early as next year. |
 After
decades of ignoring the issue, Nature, the world’s leading science
journal, has finally acknowledged that creating life-saving vaccines
from tissue from aborted human fetuses is a deeply controversial ethical
issue. |
 "To
the one, a Down syndrome child (for instance) is a genetic scandal, one
who should probably be destroyed in the womb as a kind of oblation
offered up to the social good and, of course, to some immeasurably remote future; to
the other, that same child is potentially (and thus far already) a
being so resplendent in his majesty, so mighty, so beautiful that we
could scarcely hope to look upon him with the sinful eyes of this life
and not be consumed." |
 Dr.
Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins
Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry,
said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment,
that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who
promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting
a mental disorder. |
