And surgery, and injections, and stitching wounds, etc. Obviously it's net harm, not no harm at all.

And surgery, and injections, and stitching wounds, etc.
Obviously it's net harm, not no harm at all.
- pryce 9y agoIt's not simply 'net' harm, as we would regard surgeons as breaking this principle, if they were to murder a homeless man and distribute his organs to 5 otherwise terminal patients. Medical ethics is its own field precisely because overeager and overconfident solutions are fraught with problems.
