> Late stage capitalism at its worst.

Any evidence that ignorance, greed, and opportunism is unique to "capitalism" or "late stage capitalism"?

Seems to me you are just making an observation about human nature, which manifests itself in any and all economic systems.

I think the argument that humans are naturally willing to harm infants for personal gain is not at all true. Generally, harming other humans, especially young humans, is deeply traumatic to most of the species. Harming children for personal gain, particularly economic gain, stands to ask why people stand at all to gain economically when committing harm.

Never attribute to malice what is better explained by stupidity. Often doctors just take wild guesses and use their positions of authority to make it seeem as if they know what they're doing. This is a historically problematic part of the profession and has led to all kinds of known harms. For example, the deaths of laboring women in early maternity wards by doctors who 'knew best'.

Who is making that argument? There isn't even agreement on the assertion of "harm" in the particular context of the original article. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say.

I guess you're being downvoted by the people who don't realize that greed was recognized as one of the major human failures long before capitalism was invented...
