First Do No Harm

Three Indian doctors caught on camera apparently agreeing to amputate the healthy limbs of beggars are to be questioned by the Indian Medical Council, an official said Tuesday [source].

[via]. Individual choice [of the beggars, assuming it is] v. the Hippocratic oath. I’m sorry, if I were a doctor, I would choose the latter.

pardon the question: but what is the aim of this blog?

@Jhantu: a blog is not a politcal party – and as such I doubt if they require a manifesto ;-)
@Pat: I have to agree with you – ethics should trump everything else (of course we are talking about an ideal world).
Off topic: I like the movie review widget you got on the side – is that a Java script based plug-in ?

Jhantu, didn’t someone tell you? World peace, of course.
Bongo, guess you are one of the few sane people left.
And yup, it is a WP plugin…pretty cool, eh? First saw it on Kottke.

Mohan, speak slowly again…I don’t speak idiot that well. And pray, leave an email id or a blog URL so that I can ignore you better.
Vi, actually I do. Considering it is a terminal disease leading to a much painful death. Remember, these doctors are agreeing to chop off perfectly healthy limbs.
