I'm so research oriented on England most of the time that I hadn't really thought about it. Of course I had to go looking for more info that related to both. Here's a link you and others may find interesting. I know I did. <br />http://artnscience.us/Med_Ethics/index.html<br /><br />Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-81021992177800801902012-11-14T14:55:19.332-05:002012-11-14T14:55:19.332-05:00Hi Jillian!

Washington instituted it amoung the troops as a way to prevent the spread of the disease that wiped out half of his army.<br /><br />I'm with you in that I love history and wish we had many of the manners and niceties they enjoyed. I'm still glad I live now, though, and have modern medicine. Just imagine what our great-grandchildren might have!babettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633142983016643850noreply@blogger.com
