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.
