It's horrifying, but I can't avert my eyes. In the last episode, Izzie betrayed several sensitive confidences to George's parents, and then undermined his well-founded consult of Dr. Hahn to replace Dr. Burke on his father's surgery. George, angry, and unable to see any other way to extricate Izzie from his family's business, mentions the Duquette thing. And IZZIE goes all self-righteous on him! At the end of the episode, when she says "You don't ever get to talk about Denny to me again," the right reply would have been "You don't get to go self-righteous on anyone, least of all me, ever again."<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I had to get that rant out. I like the fact that there are no Mary Sues on that show, and I like the ways the characters are developing, but it seems to me that they all have exactly the wrong moral compasses -- except, oddly, for Alex Karev, although his early carelessness cost him some points too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-1165020034565032182006-12-01T16:40:00.000-08:002006-12-01T16:40:00.000-08:00Well, I don't think it's inconsistent.In the violi...Well, I don't think it's inconsistent.<BR/><BR/>In the violinist situation, I think you (rightly) assume that the person had exclusive propery rights to his (or her) body; while in the conjoined twins situation they seem to have an equal joint claim to the shared body parts.<BR/><BR/>Since the ownership situation is different, it's perfectly plausible that the resolution could be different.Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16905127825110313631noreply@blogger.com
