"Somerville may well be the world's foremost ethical authority."
Yes, I had a chance to study Margaret Somerville on palliative care an undergraduate. She has the ability to infuriate and confound both sides of a debate. It appears to me from the material in the National Post you have a liberal arts university reacting negatively to her and a conservative opinion writer defending her. Remember Margaret Somerville is the strongest ethical voice reasoning the legitimacy of early term abortion. A remarkable women of great character, the university should be ashamed.
I did not know she was opposed same sex marriage, I would have guessed different. She appears to have an ethical model similar to what I believe. Do you think she has been monitoring FR in order to shape her opinions?
