Pardon me it was a strawman argument about mammograms I suggest you look up the meaning of "strawman." I don't find any strawman in there. It was simply my opinion that it's foolish to screen people for potential diseases that couldn't possibly affect them until they are already dead from extant diseases. I conjured no strawman nor did I try to refute one. I was countering your point that withholding such screening was ethically challenged. "I would not want to know a person who would advocate such a policy. They are so ethically challenged that there is no hope for them or for their sole." You can disagree with my opinion but calling my simple counter-opinion a "strawman" is inapt. You opined unethical. I countered smart spending. Dueling opinions. No strawmen in sight.
