WHAT?!? Are you saying that the government PAID Leon
Kass and his buddies $9.2 million to quote C.S. Lewis
and write about the wonderful virtues of death? What
IS bioethics research exactly any ways? Finding
obscure quotes from dead people to justify letting
others die? You also called it an industry. . . what
does it make? 
Excuses?
