The medical community already has well-developed ethics and treatment rules.
- harimau777 3y agoThe medical community also had ethics and treatment rules when asylums where common and they didn't seem to help much. Even if the doctors themselves are moral, what prevents politicians from putting their thumb on the scale? We are already seeing them override physicians on gender affirming care. What prevents politicians of finding a small number of immoral doctors who are willing to rubber stamp whatever they want?
- mixmastamyk 3y agoSorry to be harsh, but these hypothetical (and nearby) concerns are not important enough compared to the daily atrocities I see in downtown LA. There’s egregious harm happening now. Also it’s not uncommon to discourage procedures for minors until they are able to lawfully consent. So your example is muddy.
