Executing teenage girls for defending themselves against rape has provoked a mighty large discussion in Iran. I believe they have not decided yet if they are going to continue to be F*CKING RETARDED.

The Dilemma

Unfortunately, explained Bowman, the greatest problem is in the profound inequality and distribution of health care. However, bioethics is devoted more to the developed countries complex situations instead of the many inequalities societies face. According to Bowman, 87 percent of the US$ 2 trillion spent on health care globally, is spent on only 16% of the world’s population. As Bowman put it, “These inequalities exist because in most of the developing world the health care needs of individuals and societies are driven by poverty and privation. Questions of autonomy are barely relevant in the face of macro questions of distributive justice and access to preventative and curative interventions. These staggering realities have virtually nothing to do with the genesis of Western bioethics which arose and was first applied to tackle cases of access to dialysis, transplants and assisted reproduction. Can bioethics shift its focus to this extent?”

In response to a question from IslamOnline.net about the Terry Schiavo case, Dr. Bowman said it was a complex situation that has been highly politicized. His main comment was that these cases should be resolved outside of the courts and a mutual agreement reached. Bowman was reluctant to support a certain side in this case due to the complexity of the situation. However, he noted that in the United States, the next of kin is the husband and this should be respected.
