We currently argue that medicine, and psychiatry especially, should be value-neutral and so its classification scheme should be value-neutral. Of course, there are obvious ways in which we want medicine to not be neutral: for example, it should not be neutral about saving lives or improving health
But how about politics being value neutral...instead every assertion being
coated in 'it is 'better' more 'moral' or the Michelle Obama (not speaking in any known language as Christoper Hitchens said of her writing) 'we go higher when you go lower'/
Oh dear.
human beings have no special moral status from which they can be lowered (Soble 2002: 53–63).
