Ah, but was that after a century _of trying_? ...to paraphrase a John W. Campbell essay on cigarette smoking. So, while I agree it would be a stretch, a partisan of the MacDougall experiment could point out that the atheistic scientism conspiracy has discouraged others from attempting to repeat his experiment. John Savard The real reason was much simpler than that. MacDougall was disinvited from the hospital where he was doing the experiments and he could find no hospital that would allow him to continue. The same mindset is still very much in play: it's ghoulish, it's irreverent, it's inhumane, etc. Yes, yes, it's all a giant conspiracy. Today, it is indeed inhumane because when many patients are near death doctors perform intervention techniques which would interfere with a balance. And speaking of conspiracy theories, I was just reading about scientific reserch that indicates that people do not believe in conspiracy theories because they seem likely to be true, but rather because it makes them feel special. And the more ridiculous the theory, the more special they feel, as part of a small elite who knows the truth. In your case, of course, it's the "short bus to school" sort of special. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |
