médecine sans moralité - the drift of ethics away from moral absolutes.

The RU486 debate and the Lockhart Review Committee Report have highlighted a drift of ethics from what we might call moral absolutes, effectively resulting in medicine without morality.

Evidence Based Medicine without consideration of outcome morality is bad medicine and could be used to consider euthanasia techniques or even the transplanting of organs from clones bred for that purpose. How to do it `best´ and `legal´ is not all that matters.

There is a need then for ethics in medicine to be re-anchored to those inherent moral standards in the human consciousness that we call natural law or moral law.

In the interests of our nation we cannot afford medicine without morality.
