Dr. Li Weinlang: Martyr of the Faith

Last updated on: March 21, 2020 at 11:40 pm By Jeff Hood

Dr. Li Weinlang: Martyr of the Faith Strange things seemed to only get stranger. Stories kept on leaking out about a new respiratory illness that was similar yet more deadly than the SARS virus of years past. Wuhan just seemed to be ignoring it. Afraid for the health of his colleagues in medicine, Dr. Li Weinlang started to investigate what was going on. Fairly quickly, it became apparent that this was a nightmare situation. On a Chinese...

“Ethics matter.” / “CoronaEthics Matter”

Last updated on: March 21, 2020 at 7:37 pm By Jeff Hood

March 17, 2020 “Ethics matter.” / “CoronaEthics Matter” The world is not ending…unless we destroy it. Down on her luck, all the woman had was WIC tonight. Eventually, she made it to the milk. The kids were screaming. Looking at the shelves, all of the WIC-approved milk had already been bought (the program controls what you can buy). Trying to control her emotions, she pushed on to the rice. The woman... Read more

Did you create Coronavirus? / Just Take Me Back to Genesis

Last updated on: March 20, 2020 at 2:32 am By Jeff Hood

Did you create Coronavirus? / Just Take Me Back to Genesis In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day,... Read more

The Death of the Advocate

Last updated on: April 3, 2020 at 10:48 pm By Jeff Hood

Multiple officers descended on a murder suspect. Before giving him an opportunity to surrender, the officers opened fire. Bullet after bullet pierced his young body. Falling to the pavement, the young man managed, “Why?” Though the officers rendered aid, it was of no use…he was dead before he hit the ground. Officers on the scene tried to absolve their actions. They kept saying that they thought he had a gun. It worked for a time. However, lies can’t live forever. When... Read more

What does the Dalai Lama offer us now? // The Dalai Lama: Traditionalist or Modernist

Last updated on: February 15, 2020 at 12:46 am By Jeff Hood

What does the Dalai Lama offer us now? The Dalai Lama: Traditionalist or Modernist The Dalai Lama represents a tradition existent since 1391. This tradition is intensely religious and highly irrational based on modern conceptions of logic and rationality. Any belief in reincarnation is certainly not a modern construct and challenges modern notions of what is logical. Religion is not a modern construct. Enlightenment sensibilities have ushered in a time of philosophical skepticism and aversion to... Read more

From Kevorian to Schiavo: Ethics at the End of Life

Last updated on: February 7, 2020 at 1:03 am By Jeff Hood

February 7, 2020 From Kevorian to Schiavo: Ethics at the End of Life Over the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking about ethical dilemmas that find us at the end of life. Just yesterday, I wrote about Dr. Jack Kevorkian and assisted suicide. Earlier today, I stumbled across this paper about Terri Schiavo that I wrote during my graduate studies in healthcare ethics at Creighton University. Though more of a historical paper, I think it helps further illustrate how... Read more

Dr. Jack Kevorkian: Friend of God

Last updated on: February 4, 2020 at 11:23 pm By Jeff Hood

February 4, 2020 Dr. Jack Kevorkian: Friend of God Do you believe in a “Right to Die”? For many years, I didn’t…until I found the love of Jesus in a man named Dr. Jack Kevorkian. His struggle for a “Right to Die” has got to be one of the most loving crusades that has ever been led. Starting in 1990, Dr. Kevorkian controversially…and later illegally…assisted over two hundred people in the taking of their-own lives. In 2011, after being... Read more
