Anyone besides me see a lot of "law","professor","ethics", and "bioethics" in that paragraph? Ph.D.'s are not the same as M.D.'S yet they are effecting the way medicine is practiced. I think this is one of the areas that supporters of anti-euthanasia (my take-off of the term "anti-abortion") need to make inroads if we're ever going to get anywhere.

Bioethicists are in the same profession as Ted Bundy. On average, they have more graduate degrees than he, but a lot less charm, and none of his appeal to the opposite sex.
