He did it without the knowledge of his professors or Deans. Had they known and had they been caught they would have all been fired and prosecuted for breaking the law. Frist has low ethical standards and the ends do not justify the means. BTW, I'm not a Democrat. Go to the source, read the serial killer's autobiography:
Transplant: A Heart Surgeon's Account of the Life-And-Death Dramas of the New Medicine by William H. Frist

Here's what reviewers had to say about Kitty Killer Frist:
"Self-Serving Screed from a Deeply Disturbed Man, February 8, 2004
The relevant text in this book--which, by the way, is becoming harder and harder to get (could the author be buying up all extant copies to contain the damage?)--says of his kidnapped cats that Frist "treated them as pets for a few days" prior to his "cart[ing] them off to the lab to die." The standard practice among researchers and medical students is to avoid becoming emotionally attached to their lab subjects, and for good reason; it makes the objectivity necessary for scientific work more difficult. Yet Frist, by his own admission, "treated them as pets." The implication is that since no one forced Frist to do this that he got some sort of emotional thrill from killing and cutting up these unfortunate cats and kittens that he kidnapped under false pretenses. There is a word for people like that: sociopath. It's common knowledge that people who abuse and kill animals for thrills often become serial killers later in life. Is this the kind of person we want serving as Senate Majority Leader? Be very afraid."
"Words of wisdom from a butcher, January 2, 2003
In this book, Frist admits to adopting homeless animals from Boston shelters and promising to keep them as pets, only to bring them home to vivisect and eventually kill. The fact that he was a medical student is no excuse - he knew it was wrong, not to mention illegal, otherwise he would have no need for secrecy. Didn't he get enough dissection and vivisection in his medical school classes? Apparently not. I don't buy his explanation that the clandestine torture and killing of these animals was done to further his studies - if that were the case, he would have done the experiements IN SCHOOL under the SUPERVISION of a professor. Yes, it's impressive that he was a medical student - he is obviously intelligent. However, the frenzied, repeated torture and killing points of these adopted animals points to an deviant character, pure and simple." |
