This Blog considers assisted suicide/euthanasia, bioethics, human cloning, biotechnology, radical environmentalism, and the dangers of animal rights/liberation. My views expressed here, as in my books and other writings, reflect my understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters. (The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily those of any organization with which I am affiliated.)
I will be in the UK for the next week speaking and meeting people about the euthanasia threat over there and sundry other bioethical issues. Probably won't get to Blog much. But you never know.
I am interested in comments on the Hippocratic Oath controversy. Please feel free to weigh in.
Thanks to all who visit Secondhand Smoke.

Things seem much worse in the UK than here....
In some ways, yes. But in other ways, no. We have legal assisted suicide in Oregon, futile care is being imposed in Texas and elsewhere, Terri Schiavo is dead, etc.
