Sociopathy Dressed Up as Bioethics
This video is absolutely stunning in its brazenness. If this fellow is what the academy is producing, then it would seem that the whole job of the bioethicist is to invent new excuses that politicians and bureaucrats can use to expand the harm they do, without pricking their own consciences.
Note the magician’s sleight-of-hand trick he’s playing, here. His opening gambit is “making risks tolerable”. So, of course, everyone goes chasing off after “tolerable”. But in actual fact, there is no “risk”, here. Risk implies a probability of harm in some action. But infecting everyone means it’s not a risk at all: It’s a certainty. These human beings who ‘volunteer’ to be infected will be harmed. Whether or not they die from the infection is beside the point. Infecting people IS harming them.
