Voice of Reason?

At what point in our society did we collectively decide to hand the power over our lives to Politicians and their appointed advisory boards?

It is a sad and ridiculous situation that Australians have allowed themselves to become individually dis-empowered over issues that are personal, and life threatening.

Ethics Committees are an essential part of our Society and are generally relied upon to be the Voice of Reason when it comes to these major issues.

However, it is NOT the role of ANYONE (ethics committee member, politician, doctor, businessman, or labourer etc), to set in stone rules that are draconian or defeatest.http://www.biotechnologyonline.gov.au/human/ethicssc.cfm
