  • Very Nice Addition

    I am so appreciative that you have brought ATL to an audio podcast format. I simply could not afford the time to sit at a monitor and watch a video format nor the data streaming costs to listen to a video when I am working outdoors. Thank you!

    Great interview, Gordon Chang is so informative and spot on as to his view of China’s intention of destroying America and our corrupt politicians continue to allow them to expand unchallenged. I totally support Trump but on China & Russia I think he is misjudging both, the only thing they understand is strength. Keep up the good fight Gordon.

Q: What is the distinction between trying to do the best for an individual patient versus the idea of the greater good?
The traditional Hippocratic view prioritizes the individual patient, while a utilitarian approach prioritizes the greater good but can undermine trust in the doctor-patient relationship.
From Gene-Edited Babies to ‘Bodyoids,’ the Brave New World of Modern Medicine | Dr. Aaron Kheriaty

How a Little Known Technology Can Break China’s Rare Earths Stranglehold | Dr. James Tour
