I must say, these days whenever I see the word "ethicist," I reach for my pistol (metaphorically).

I know the feeling. "Medical ethics" has become pseudonym for creative ways in which to end life. This is the logical extension of abandonment of personal moral responsibility.

From my profile at LifeEthics:

"Bioethics" is the formal study of who we can kill and enslave by designating them as not-human-enough to possess the basic human right not to be killed or enslaved. That's not what "they" say. But it's what they do if we let 'em. Let's don't let 'em.
