Moral Agnosticism Kills — Literally

Here is an obviously bright and experienced psychologist at the Columbia University Medical Center -- a real-life case, though on a smaller scale of destruction, of Dr. Stadler from Atlas Shrugged.

She used her clinical talents and perceptiveness to treat an inpatient at the psychiatric unit who was experiencing severe depression. After a month of treatment, she helped him become functional again -- as a contract killer.

She knew during the treatment that she was putting a killer back on the street, and the "ethicists" at the hospital advised her that she had a duty to treat him. And to quote the article: "He had no remorse: He saw these killings as 'all in a day’s work.'”

Because of her moral agnosticism -- the view that values are divorced from facts, that morality has nothing to do with life -- she and the hospital are complicit in his future crimes.
