Good point about chemicals in the womb.
About the corporate health care: Aren't you using exceptions to the rule, as the rule? Corporations really don't have it in their charters to kill off their employees by denying them health care, I'm fairly certain. There are exceptions to the rule, and thats what they are: exceptions. No less important, but we're talking in broad strokes here.
When you say that in our society money is god, doesn't that imply a wish for everything to be free? ngdawg touched upon it. That one is entitled - just by their very existence - to life's amenities?
In open societies people are free to do what they wish: they can go to graduate school just about as readily as they can join the Peace Corps. And there are economic ramifications to such decisions: radiologists make more money than social workers. In the end, nobody is forcing them to do one or the other. As they say, life is a series of choices. If people prosper as a result of their own decisions, isn't that a fair arrangement? If people suffer as a result of their own decisions, isn't that a fair arrangement?
