OH! NOT AGAIN! WHERE WAS THIS IN THE MEDIA???

President's Bioethics Commission Meeting Transcript of June 24, 2004


Dr. Janet D. Rowley, M.D., D.Sc., from The University of Chicago, states:

"I'm very concerned that the major ethical issue that
we face in this country is that every dollar that is
spent on very old individuals is a dollar that could
be spent on young children who really are going to
benefit. And in a society of finite resources I think
it is unethical for older individuals to steal
resources from their children. And I think that that's
not the way the question is put, but in fact that is
in its bluntest terms of the way society should begin
to consider this. So you raise the question of
rationing. And I know that other countries do do this,
but I would be curious as to your thought, and your
thoughts also, Dr. Cole, on these issues?"
