DOCTORS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
In most of the world, there is no need to talk about this subject. Health care workers are members of the community that serve those that are not enjoying life due to some form of illness or injury. Most Doctors are only interested in easing pain and discomfort and attempting to cure the problem, whether it is pulling a rotten tooth, removing blockages in the arteries, or prescribing all manner of medicines, the common goal is to restore the patient to perfect health, or as near to it as possible. There is a growing segment of society, however, that have “moved the goal posts” so to speak. For them, perfect health is not having organs that work properly and minds that are grounded in reality, and there is no shame in approaching the medical profession asking/demanding to alter and remake them according to their own blueprint. Today’s doctors are facing enormous pressure (both from temptation and threats from government) to ignore their “sacred oath” and go along with this grotesque fad.
In the same way, abortions are being used as a lazy form of birth control, with no thought given to the sanity of the doctor. Think about a surgical ward where half the patients are begging the doctor to deliver an endangered foetus and the other half begging the same doctor to throw theirs in the garbage. This is not a matter for activists, politicians, courts or counselling, this issue needs to be dealt with by the doctors themselves.
If a suicidal teen comes to a clinic with both her wrists sliced open and the “doctor” on call locks her in a room so that she can “bleed out”, that “doctor” would have to face a review board of real doctors and would not only go to jail, but would NEVER be allowed to call himself a doctor! Trying to defend his actions by claiming that he was “only trying to help her in her distress” wouldn’t cut it.
