Prostate Cancer and the Government

Here is one of the stupidest statements I have ever seen. It from MSNBC, why am I not surprised, and it says:

There is no government-recommended age to start screening for prostate cancer, but doctors generally agree men should start at age 40 or 50, according to the NCI.  

This is a classic example of where we are heading. We need Government to now write our medical books. Why just stop the next version of Harrison or Cecil, just close down JAMA and NEJM, we have the government. Think, folks, do you really want that GS 9 to tell you what to do!

Science is conducted in an open forum of debate. It is not mandated by the government. It is worth preserving that. Unless we want to repeat the error with Galileo. Instead of a Pope we have a President.

And oh by the way the writer of the piece was a woman. Go figguah.
