I'll say it one more time for repetition. Careless medical research is tantamount to torture. I don't much care who you're using it on. Beyond my care for the victim, i am very concerned about what that torture does to the inflicters. What happens when we train ourselves to not see other humans as human?
my signature line...is not a defense of inaction. i am aware that good people must at time engage in evil. but we must be very careful to say that we do not believe in it. if something threatens, it is permissable to pick up a gun, to stand in defense of innocent life. but when the threat is past, you put it right back down. there is nothing about that violence that gives life... we may know no other way, we may see no other road. but as soon as we can see...we'd better be ready to drop our violence and resume our hope. with out a hope for something better...there is no point in trying to save anything.
you would amuse yourself with violence...for what? to feel better about the world? to create a feeling of justice? to prove to yourself that killing is wrong?
no...to believe in violence is to give up everything worth fighting for.
