After a recent report by a team of medical ethicists that claimed ‘killing new-born babies is no worse than abortion and is justifiable as they are not viable humans’, follow-up research has revealed that killing ethicists does no more harm than stealing a biro and a pack of post-its from the stationery cupboard. The survey, of seven billion people selected for ‘having a working moral compass’ and ‘knowing the difference between right and wrong’ suggests that the murder of ethicists can be justified on the grounds that ‘normal, well adjusted human beings, free from severe psychological problems’ can be relied on to understand that killing inconvenient babies is utterly evil, whereas medical ethicists can be disposed of with less moral uncertainty than would arise from the theft of a bottle of ’Tipp-ex’.
“After all,” said one respondent, “Tipp-ex is useful, and, by comparison, a force for good in the world."
