re: #12 Obdicut
Hee hee. Now you’re against the state saying some medical procedures aren’t safe and shouldn’t be done.
Holy shit, you really are an anarchist.
Hilarious.
I know, it’s crazy to believe people have the right to make informed decisions for themselves about procedures that affect only themselves. That’s outrageous isn’t it? Why next you’ll have people believing they have the right to make all kinds of decisions on their own, like who they should be allowed to marry and what they should be allowed to put into their own bodies, and we can’t have that!
Are you also against the licensing of doctors?
Of course.
No, and that’s not what the article claims, either. The article says, and it’s right, that if you don’t have a good grasp of the science behind something, and why it’s risky, you’re more likely to make bad decisions about it.
FTA:
No person with such a basic understanding of evolution would dream of injecting themselves with potentially cancerous cells, except maybe in some very desperate, life-threatening situation.
A contention shot down by the popsci article I posted above. I’m an atheist and even I recognize it’s a ridiculous argument to make.
And subscribing to creationism certainly does impact your ability to grasp science well.
Another ridiculous argument. I have 2 friends that I’ve known since High School that work in medical R&D (both biochemists. one for roche and other for eli lilly). One is a youth minister and the other is an elder in a small church. Are you suggesting that only atheists are capable of understanding science?
