 Interestingly, we started doing this in the US in a time when medical ethics weren't nearly as developed as they are now. I'd say we hardly had any at all by today's standards.

We should look at these issues ethically without making the issues political or even scientific. Even if a thing is scientifically proven to do more good than harm, that doesn't give one the right to disregard ethics and force that thing onto others. People must be able to choose in a free society.

Ethics is an issue that we should be considering first. I've failed at this too on this issue and others.
