- Gee, what an ethical dilemma for poor Mark. He has to choose
- between violating his personal and professional commitment to
- patient confidentiality and being thought a liar by a paragon
- of honesty such as yourself. Whatever will you do, Mark?
-
- BTW, Doug, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop telling the
- pro-choice contingency what we mean by bodily autonomy.
- In spite of many, many patient attempts to explain it to
- you, you don't get it yet. I'm beginning to think that
- you're never going to get the point through this electronic
- conversation. Perhaps you should attempt some in-person
- interaction with a real woman or two. It's possible that
- you will find one with enough patience to explain it.
