How ready we are today to discuss ethical problems, but how quickly we shy away from talking about ethical truths. We raise ethical questions but avoid ethical answers. We encourage the discussion of options and opinions, but leave medical students in the lerch to “make up their own minds” about what might or might not be ethical.

I hesitate to post this, but feel that parents with teens on the Internet need to be aware.
Full story here and below.
I-dosing on “digital drugs” is becoming an alarming new trend amongst teens.
Web sites are luring kids with free downloads of “digital drugs,” which are audio files designed to induce drug-like effects. The sites claim it is a safe and legal way to get high, but parents fear it could lead to illegal drug use.

I do not like this spending spree,
I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free,
I do not like your smug replies,
when I complain about your lies.
I do not like this kind of hope.
I … Read the rest
