My letter focuses on bioethical principles. ACA seeks to promote beneficence & justice (and decrease the maleficent impact of our nation's decision, so far, to allow 15% of the population to remain without health insurance, and suffer its deleterious health consequences).

A nun at a Catholic hospital in Phoenix has been excommunicated for allowing an abortion to be performed on a woman who doctors say would otherwise have died. Sister Margaret McBride may also be expelled from her order. Now, there's a debate about the church's quick, severe penalty while it waited years to punish pedophile priests.">

Even when the system works as it's supposed to, and palliative care specialists arrive like the cavalry to provide comfort care, to stop fruitless and painful interventions and to support what patients want, their own colleagues may brand them murderers. It takes strong doctors to stand up to that kind of verbal abuse, to explain that courts and ethics committees have approved care that's intended to reduce suffering, to point out that the patient's own wishes are paramount. Perhaps they have to be stronger than we know. "The culture is changing," Dr. Matlock told me. "But it's not changed yet."

J.L.A. Garcia sees as wicked the viewpoint he attributes to Singer: "He has little use for most of the central elements of ethical sensibility and compunction, seeing rights and virtues as mere instruments in the service of maximizing the satisfaction of interests; and indeed he vigorously rejects the notion that there are distinctively human values-a view he dismisses as the pernicious consequence of "speciesism."
