I have not seen the episode of Dr. House - Medical Division inspiring post of Screwtape , but I think the word as written : "From the medical point of view the plot is so implausible to sink into the ridiculous" . This is the reason why I stopped following the series in the middle of his second season and I can hardly imagine that now the seventh, the authors may have reached the bottom of the improbable, in fact - it is true - "care embryonic stem do not exist, let alone one able to rebuild in a day ". Everything else, though, I think he may judge.
It is not unlikely, first, that a Catholic will face crucify. Two years ago, for example, only 29 were in the Philippines. The Church officially disapproves, it should say so, but the custom is rooted in several countries, particularly between South American and Latino , with some sporadic cases in Europe.
The faith of those who will crucify you sick? No doubt, but this is the case in Small sacrifices (1 Italy, 04/03/2011), where the crucifix Latin is and suffering from neurological disease ( "sclerosis of the brain" , read): nothing improbable, therefore. It is unlikely, however, that Screwtape writes: "The faith depicted in the show is its caricature: a blind belief without argument" , because faith is this, even when not caricature: how to argue otherwise, to grace, the resurrection of the dead, the virginity of a new mother, his ascension into heaven, etc..? And yet they are dogmas, we must have blind belief, otherwise we can not say Catholics. And here I will only say that Screwtape should monitor more vocabulary.
That's unlikely, then, a Catholic who prefers to die rather than save morally illicit means? The Church is not holy women who reject abortion even knowing that the pregnancy will kill? It is precisely the case of Latin refusing the treatment of embryonic stem cells required by House. What's unlikely? What's so implausible?
But not all. Screwtape writes that, to heal the sclerotic against his will, House "tricks him into losing trust in God" . This is doubly obnoxious, I agree. In fact, I think it is entirely arbitrary mirror of the Catholic physician who commits injustice similar to the patient with no future, would be left to die in peace rather than being made an appendage of the machine. But Screwtape Assassin to the doctor who would not pull the plug? So why is hateful arbitrariness of House? Probably - I'm going to nose - the only reason is that the goal here - the same goal - to be achieved by losing the faith of the patient.
In short, it appears that there is Screwtape patient and patient: if he is a believer, your treatment will take care of first not to make him lose faith, even if it means letting him die, but if there is not a believer, the therapy must satisfy the faith of the doctor, even the cost of keeping the patient alive against his will.
What's more, the doctor should act as a doctor believer believer even before a patient is not a believer, preferably by law. Screwtape does not say, not in this post. When you address the issue of the bill on the end of life that is under discussion in Parliament, you will not fail.
