| PS: Yes, its a deeply broken system- and its also on the point where the well-off blue blooded caste starts to blame the lower-classes for the misery inflicted upon them again- aka, if you are of low blood, you are obviously lazy because you spend so much time in bed being sick. Ideology can be a very effective tool to deactivate compassion. |

| So the perfect nothing is allowed to block the imperfect something, because we wait for humans to transcend to angelic beeings? |

| ▲ | wesselbindt 8 months ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yeah, not doing human testing on poor folks without a choice is really "angelic" and "perfect". Very high bar to set, how could we possibly achieve such high standards of morality? | | |

| ▲ | nkrisc 8 months ago | parent | prev [-] | | Step 1: Create economic conditions in which vast numbers of people can’t afford medical care Step 2: Offer them the “choice” of possibly receiving care by being medical guinea pigs for those who created the situation that deprived them of medical care in the first place. A coerced choice is a not a free choice. | | |

| ▲ | nkrisc 8 months ago | parent [-] | | If it wasn't clear, my belief is that it would end up doing more harm than good, and that the status quo is the least-harm scenario between the two. |
