"The possibility of playing around «with- genes that determine a person's character has worried a great many people," said Newman. He said other issues in medicine include questions as "How do you decide who should get specialized medical care when its expense makes it prohibitive for the masses?" Also, "Should we be developing fertility pills when there is already overpopulation in the-world?" Social Concerns In the area of social work he commented that the whole issue ot social justice is a moral issue. 'The welfare system involves a tangle of moral issues. How important is it for the government to see to it that no one lives in severe poverty? There are many moral problems as they relate to human needs."
