For example, what about
1. The Ethics of developing an AIDS vaccine?
Might that lead to the end of whatever restraints some may have about sex?
Should all taxpayers contribute to this effort, regardless of their views?
Do we know the views of the majority on this issue?
Has Congress voted on this?
2. How about the Ethics of Stem Cell research testing on humans, regardless possible harm? Are we repeating Nazi Medical experiments, for the sake of science? Regardless any harm to the subjects? Can we insure the safety of stem cells trials without knowing how stem cells work? What are the limits of any possible damage? Are we ready to admit we know far less than we try to make patients believe?
For example, we have no cure for a common cold.
More and more benefits are still being found from use of the old synthetic drug: Aspirin. Would you believe cancer?
3. Do we have high enough Ethical Values to admit we do not know how Stem Cells work? I mean in the sense of Principles based on a chemical or a DNA Segment, why, not how. Most, if not all, medicine is a matter of a recipe that has been found to work in the past.
For example, would you believe the claim that “We know how our Immune System works?” If so, why is there no cure for neither the common cold nor AIDS?
Modern doctors are healing practitioners that could be, and have been, replaced with a computer in the Mayo Clinic. It is all about remembering the relation between symptoms and drugs. No human memory is as large and as reliable as my, or your, PC.
