- jeffreyrogers 12y agoThe Amish do use modern medicine. At least some of them. It depends on the community.
- avz 12y agoHow do they reconcile it with the Ordnung's prohibition on the use of mains electricity? Almost all modern diagnostic, surgical and other medical equipment requires it.
- ars 12y agoThey have no problem with other people using it, and they have no problem with renting such services. They just don't want to own it, or make the access too convenient. So they might have a telephone - but it's at the end of a 10 minute walkway. PS. How do you know the term Ordnung, but not know the basics of their belief about technology?
- codingdave 12y agoI don't think anybody is arguing against modern medicine. The argument is to question the real value that technology adds to your life, family, and community. Modern medicine clearly has value. And your answers may differ from the next person's. And that is fine - the point is to think about it and make a choice, instead of just a blanket assumption that all technology is always better.
