Indirectly, he pointed out something that the medical community has tap danced around for years. The abandonment of the Hippocratic oath, or its debasement to an empty ritual, devoid of meaning.
Since the time of the fictional Dr. Frankenstein, medical ethics has been under attack. Today, a doctor will not be condemned for inhumanity and violating the cardinal rules of life, but be honored by his peers for breaching ethics in such an interesting way. Relativistic ethics on a par with journalistic ethics, meaning no ethics.
While the public are still shocked and horrified by the medical experiments conducted by the Nazis and Imperial Japanese war machine, or the Tuskegee experiment, the medical community is not. Unconcerned with life, and humanity, they hide behind science as justification for any barbarity.
For this reason, it is a reasonable question to ask if doctors are any longer able or willing to police their own ethics, or if a public agency should be able to intervene in their practices and tell them to discontinue a practice or experiment, because it has passed the boundaries the public is willing to tolerate.
You’re painting with way too broad a brush.
