> People often forget that the medical profession's highest priority isn't the health of you, the patient. If you were to grab a medical ethics book you will first be told that the well being of the population as a whole surpasses any individuals rights.

That is just not true. Completely, 100%, entirely false. In medical decision making, the principles of beneficence, malfeasance, and autonomy far outweigh the concept of social justice. As someone who works in the medical setting, hearing something like this stuns me.
