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.)
In a terrible irony, four Israeli doctors have been arrested for conducting unethical medical experiments on the elderly. I keep warning that when we lose sight of the crucial understanding that each human has intrinsic value simply and merely because he or she is human, terrible consequences follow. Stories like this are early storm warnings of that truth.
