I see the NMEC came up with some wise words today, but I haven't really had time to read yet. Pretty busy today trying to meet several deadlines.gigamolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328852130774608540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125857314165645951.post-66953773506946422842009-04-20T03:27:00.000-07:002009-04-20T03:27:00.000-07:00I don't know who makes up a medical ethics committ...I don't know who makes up a medical ethics committe but if members are mainly from the medical profession or in related professions such as pharmacists or scientists, then obviously there's little breadth.<br /><br />As for operating on conjoined twins, I thought we celebrated the Nepalese separation, as tho it was a modern day miracle.<br /><br />I think one way to stop such experimental ops is to stop funding them, whether by charities or soft hearted pple. Unless pple like Keith Goh and others who want to do the ops can undertake to give their patients lifelong post op support, thru thick and thin.auntieluciahttp://singaporegirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
