    Intrisic worth has to be defined by someone, or by a society, and if that is the case, then that society can defined that certain individuals have no intrinsic value, or a very very low one, almost negligible.

    when defining ethics and morals, populism is what dictates your answer. Ethics and morals don't exist in a vacuum and they are defined by the customs of the people.

    Negative. You can only use religious beliefs as social constructs if the enough people believes them to be facts. Else they can not be used as social constructs.

    So teaching any religion is unethical as it is not demonstrable by definition, or any stretch of human ability.

    My point was regarding TCM is that declaring unethical or not, it is up to the culture that uses it. Ethics are not universal as Hodj claims and Cad pointed this out. If I were in China TCM will be ethical, not effective but ethical. If I'm on the western world, tcm is unethical. Hodj litmus...
