Anytime you go in for surgery you sign a large number of disclaimers stating the possible risks.

The general assumption on this thread is that the surgeon MUST have screwed up or the child would not have died. That’s not the way risk works.

If you perform a large number of any surgery, some small percentage of those will result in severe complications or even death.

Them’s the facts. To my mind it is liberals who refuse to accept tradeoffs, that small risks of severe consequences must be faced and balanced against the much more likely good results. Which means of course that some people will lose this bet.

Liberals refuse to accept this fact, and insist that any negative outcome must be the result of human error or malevolence. In fact, I think the refusal to accept this is the defining characteristic of liberalism.

People want their utopia and will behave chaotically to get it!

Or as Christ said...”The Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the desperate take it by force”!
