Yes, I believe that it is unethical to be a religious doctor. This argument can be made quite easily. The ethical doctor’s role is to provide the best treatment possible for the patient. Currently, the best way to accomplish this is through evidence based medicine aka science. It is therefore unethical to not provide treatment that has been shown to work through evidence based medicine.
I realize that it is still physically possible to provide good treatment to a patient while holding religious beliefs, however they can’t fully have faith in the treatment while holding religious beliefs.
Science and religion are incompatible. Anyone that begs to differ hasn’t read enough evidence or hasn’t thought about it enough. Ethically, a doctor needs have complete faith in evidence based medicine.
How’s that for stirring up a bit of controversy? This argument still needs a bit of work and I will develop it further in the future.
Here are my two buddies Dave and Mark planting through a dead pine forest. The planting in this video doesn’t look to bad, however most of it was pretty difficult. Have a look for some pretty crazy planting!!!
Thinkgeek has just posted a Wi-Fi detecting T-shirt. You can see the product page here. This shirt is a similar to the T-equalizer shirt which was previously the coolest shirt ever.
It seems as though the digg effect can shut down more than just web pages. This shirt will not be available for a few weeks. I have a feeling that the manufacturer of this will underestimate the demand.
