The Economic Rationale of Treating Loved Ones
The BackgroundDr Lee Wei Ling had a letter to the forum in which she inveighed against the parents and surgeon's choices to operate. The Straits Times published letters in rebuttal, one of which is by a blogger and
reproduced in full at this site.
I have to say that Dr Lee's letter didn't feel right when I read it - there was unease that I could not put my finger on. Singapore Serf's letter crystalised my thoughts on it, which were the basis for
my comment to tthe unedited version of his forum letter.
