“Do no harm”? Medical Murder on the Galatica?
Medical Murderer?
When does medicine go mad? When does a respected physician cross the line? In a culture where the numbers are already low and impoverished, allow someone who is sworn to do no harm, to so such harm as to destroy the lives of other humans, based upon their respective culture?
Is racism alive and well on the Colonial Fleet? Apparently, yes. One of the so called respected Dr. Roberts entrusted with the salvation of one of the cultures, chose to create harm. And why? Racism of all things! You would think that should a thing could not happen. It could, and did Thanks goodness for Capt. Agathon, “the cylon lover” who exposed Dr. Roberts for the homocidal bigot he was.
The Sagittareans represent a space age mixture of new age hippies and Jehovah’s Witnesses in a rather strange mixture. Their belief in natural naturopathic medicines and non-traditional paths made them appear culturally inferior, to Dr. Roberts who rather than truly treating then, injected his patients with w neuro disruptor serum. Out and out murder, just because of their belief systems In a way it mirrors the racial conflicts we have today with people who still follow ancient customs, or superstitions.
If this were World War II, Dr. Roberts would be the Adolf Eichmann of the time. I hope in later episodes he gets fried.
