Very similarly to this, I'd say that doctors in the United States who carry out abortions are certainly being brave (given the political climate over there). You might respond "What, slaughtering the unborn - yeah what heroes!" but then that would reveal a philosophical difference. Either way, I think we should agree that people who do a job in very difficult circumstances are probably not just being pointless sadists or murderers for the sake of it.

I must admit that that particular comment was more a reaction against the irrelevent nature of the comment which has absolutly nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
there were so many of these contained in that one post that it really started to get on my nerves andmade a sarcastic comment.
It really reads like it was written about a completely different topic and accidently pasted here due to an administrative error.
