Description
Smith goes behind the scenes of our health care system to show how a new, self-proclaimed elite of "bioethicists" threatens patient welfare by undermining the Hippocratic Oath. In the new worldview of bioethics, "death" is being redefined to include "irreversible" coma. The case is being made for organ harvesting from the terminally ill and disabled. Cognitively disabled patients are dehydrated to death by having their tube-supplied food and water withheld. Animals receive greater protection in medical experiments than people.
