On the subject of religion vs secular morality, there is this horror coming from Ireland via the 1930's Catholic church there. Immorality at it's extreme.
The other day there was a whole bunch of babies bodies discovered underneath an old Catholic home for unmarried mothers. It has now come to light that the Catholic church running homes like this, allowed the kids of these unmarried mothers be used in illegal drug experiments for a multinational drug corporation in the 1930's:
More than 2000 Irish children in religious run homes were subjected to drugs trials in the 1930s according to a shocking new report.I would assert that in the morality of the secular world, where we actually are concerned about treating others like we'd like to be, this wouldn't happen. I would also suggest that the Catholic church, in all it's so called morality, didn't care about these kids as they were from unwed mothers. Sort of like Scott Morrison doesn't care about asylum seekers on boats, demonising them in the same way. The inference being that they are baddies and deserve what they get.
As the Tuam burial ground scandal erupts, it has now emerged that Catholic Church run homes and state institutions let the children of unmarried mothers be used in medical experiments.
The Irish Daily Mail has published a damning report which outlines how scientists secretly vaccinated more than 2,000 children in religious-run homes in suspected illegal drug trials.
The paper says that old medical records show that 2,051 children and babies in Irish care homes were given a one-shot diphtheria vaccine for international drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome between 1930 and 1936.
The report adds that no evidence exists that consent was ever sought. more
So there we have it. Secular morality wins every time.
