Have we really gone heartless?

Some members of the Sigma Rho fraternity are on hot seats nowadays for the alleged hazing of UP Public Administration student, Cris Mendez, that resulted to his untimely death.

This is not the first time that we hear of senseless deaths involving campus fraternities.

And to think that these fraternities are composed of supposedly educated individuals!

The truth is, I am now reminded of someone who had written, "I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no person should witness. Gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot and killed by high school and college graduates. So I'm suspicious of education. My request is: help your students to be human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, or educated Eichmanns. Reading and writing and spelling and history and arithmetic are only important if they serve to make our students human."

What about the pharmacist who irresponsibly dispenses prescription drugs nowadays like candies in sari-sari stores?

Or the one who is not bothered by the illegal selling of misoprostol which is used as abortifacient?

Or our inaction to the unethical practice of our profession?

Have we really gone heartless?

Surely, I want to hear more of Michael Jackson singing:

"Heal The World

Make It A Better Place

For You And For Me

And The Entire Human Race

There Are People Dying

If You Care Enough

For The Living

Make A Better Place

For You And For Me"

I really hope that would help...
