Saying that a scientist treating her own cancer (successfully, which is amazing) is ethically problematic is like saying someone who repaints their own car should be charged with vandalism. This isn't why codes of ethics exist.

The astounding courage of women in Afghanistan defying the totalitarian misogyny of the Taliban. The international response to the Taliban's grotesque oppression of women and girls has been shamefully inadequate, but I hope these women know how many beyond their borders stand in

Something heartwarming.

The West's main issue is fear of getting caught, not of wrongdoing. We've lost our moral compass. Without stable ethics from faiths like Christianity or Confucianism, we're crafting our own hell on earth. There will never be enough policing to catch every criminal.
