If a Tree Falls: If a Patient is Assaulted Under Anesthesia

Given Sims experiments (as he brutally carried them out) would not have been possible had his subjects not been slaves, given such abuse was not necessary for the "advancement of women's medicine", given the criticism of his own contemporaries, and given both slavery and non-consensual experimental procedures have come under mass social critic and legal restraint one might find it hard to understand why contemporary medical ethicists might defend Sims' experiments. Still, many physicians are irrationally emphatic about in their defense of Dr. Sims, arguing the end justified his means. I am convinced, and evidence suggest, they do so not because their argument is well supported by reason or evidence, but because they feel they have a vested interest in opposition to patient autonomy and the ethic against violating informed consent, they have a vested interest in treating the rich and subjecting the poor to violent abuses against patient autonomy, dignity, and health.

To be Continued: In the next chapter I will talk about current practice. We will also address physician justifications for violations of Kant's moral imperative, their fiduciary duties, and Hippocratic oath. Finally we will propose legislation to address these violations and an opportunity for you to act.
