We haven't got that far yet. So we do have cultural groups in our country who continue to practice this. And they will argue from within their belief system that this is a good thing. Whereas, I for one, think it's barbaric. So, there's a tension between beliefs and values pertaining to the group and the common good and that's a tough one.
Institutions have values, whole societies have values.
It's not just individuals. Stanford Medical School prides itself on its research, on producing not just physicians but physicians who will be leaders in the profession, and third, on clinical care, taking care of patients. You go to Sequoia Hospital or El Camino Hospital and the priorities are reversed. The first thing is taking care of patients, not much research is going on, and certainly there aren't too many leaders in the medical professions at those institutions. So institutions have values.
