Response to Shawna's "Disrecpectful use"

Shawna, your post really got me thinking. You're right, who knows what doctors are really doing when no one else is watching them? We all know that animals are used for various types of medical testing and whatnot, but what we don't know is the kinds of sick things that some doctors probably still do to people. When you go to the doctor, you assume that you can trust them. Doctors are seen as professional, polite, kind people who want nothing more than to take care of their patients. However, there are many instances of doctors harassing, abusing, lying to, and taking advantage of their patients, and even taking advantage of a person's dead body. I'm not saying that all doctors are like this; most probably aren't. But just because a sick, twisted person who has no respect for other human being happens to be a doctor, it doesn't give them the right to violate anyone, nor does it mean that we should ignore it when it does happen just because of their profession. Throughout history, some of the most hideous, morally corrupt people have had some of the most respected and well-known professions. This shouldn't excuse their behavior. I feel like Sims got away with a lot of what he did because he was a doctor. If he had never gone to medical school and still found a way to carry out the experiments that he did, and even if he still found ways to help women, we wouldn't be arguing over whether or not he was a hero or a villain. He would be a villain, hands down. So let's take a moment and strip away his title of "Dr. Sims" and consider his true motivations behind what he did to those women. He could have taken his time and found a moral, respectful way to carry out his business. But he didn't, and just because he was a doctor, people are still ok with it, and they shouldn't be.
