The Right to Regret (feat. Morgan) - (Ken) Ham & AiG News

Ken Ham and his team have a bi-weekly "news" show, reacting to the news stories of the day from a Christian young-earth creation perspective from the Answers in Genesis staff at his Creation Museum.
Morgan and I join Bodie Hodge and Bryan Osborne as they discuss bullet-ridden Bible, ancient chocolate, appendix potential in Parkinson's research, gender affirmation surgery regret, Gosnell movie dropped by theaters, and bird lungs in dinosaurs and more in this episode of Answers News hosted in front of a live audience at the Creation Museum.

James Doohan, the actor who played Scotty on the original Star Trek series, stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day and was saved from a bullet to the heart by a cigarette case he kept in his breast pocket, which just goes to show that smoking saves. That's why I worship the Marlboro Man.

[@johnnyrepine937]

I love how Paul has specifically geared his channel towards not swearing because he wants to be more approachable to other Christians who might want to look into the claims for themselves and possibly leave the faith, but Morgan and another pair of guest stars more than make up for his lack of profanity. It's a wonderful juxtaposition.

[@PurpleRhymesWithOrange]

Thank you Morgan for your comments around 9:30 for pointing out that people regret all sorts of surgeries. My fiance frequently regretted having a hysterectomy despite the fact that not having that surgery would likely have meant cancer spreading to other organs.

[@NikkyKicks]

I'm a trans man, and I've been looking into post op regret/depression myself out of some concern, but it's important to remember breast tissue and gonads produce hormones themselves. When those are removed, assuming you haven't been on hormone blocking medications along with whatever hormone replacement you might be taking, you're going to have a huge, sudden drop in hormones. Like in postpartum depression, this can cause concerning but temporary symptoms that, 9/10, will pass with time as your body adapts. There's also the fact that our technology for transition, while pretty fucking amazing, isn't anywhere near perfect. On top of that, some people simply don't follow up because they can't afford it, so they might be more likely to have complications. It's understandable that a person might be dissatisfied if their results don't look right, there's a lot of scarring, etc. Even if there was a huge chance I might regret it later, which I'm almost certain I won't, I'd go through surgery. Having to live in the body I do now is hell, any regret I would feel couldn't compare to what I feel now.

[@dma8657]

Thanks for this thoughtful explanation. Be well.

[@JosephKano]

Hopefully everything goes well for you and no complications, and you have loving and supportive people in your life who accept you for the person you know you are.

A bullet ridden copy of Mein Kampf saved a German's solder once. I know Mein Kampf isn't nearly as vile as the Bible (and that is saying something) but really, any hard object can save you from being shot.

[@0x777]

Mein Kampf and the Bible share a lot of traits. In Nazi Germany, everyone had a copy of Mein Kampf (you'd get it as a "state gift" for a wedding for example), almost nobody has ever really read it and if more people had, a lot of atrocities could have been avoided.

[@erictaylor5462]

Or maybe not. Most people don't actually think for themselves. They just go with whatever they are told. It's why religion is so popular, and why people get so upset when you challenge that.

[@mamamheus7751]

Fyi, Bath is a town built before Roman times (maybe pre-Celtic, but it was definitely in use as a spa during Celtic times) because of the natural spa, as are many other towns and cities throughout Europe (pretty darned sure Baden-Baden is named thus for a very good reason. Run its name through Translate...). The Georgians particularly loved it, the crescent of houses you showed was built by Nash. Jane Austen visited the town regularly, Herschel built his own telescopes at his house there (along with his sister), and more importantly, I met my husband at Bath Uni on a summer school run by our university (the Open Uni. Check it out, it's an epic uni!!!). So if you think about it, there's nothing really funny about the name at all, it just follows over 2000 years of history. HTH. Great show as ever.

[@Roedygr]

If you ever get to Bath, take the tour of the ancient Roman Baths. If was one of the most memorable events of my life. Especially memorable was encountering the ancient Roman god Minerva Sulis, and seeing an ancient sacrificial altar.

[@erictaylor5462]

Some people never regret their medical choices. When I was 3 my parents chose to have my leg amputated. Though I was only 3 and couldn't make the choice for myself, if I could have I would have. I don't regret it at all, because my quality of life is much higher than it would have been if my leg wasn't amputated.

[@Paulogia]

Thank you for sharing that, Eric. Wow.

[@erictaylor5462]

Paulogia, One would think that having a mobility limb amputated would be something someone might regret. I don't.

[@thecraftycyborg9024]

Somehow, the idea of “you *will* regret it” has seeped into the public conscious when it comes to sex change. I honestly have no idea if it’s because everyone involved either currently has or wants to have lady parts, or if people are just so scared of anything Other that they can’t think logically. Studies show that suicide and depression rates drop significantly when people are allowed to live the correct gender expression. You’d think that fact would be enough to get people on board with it, yet it’s not. It’s immensely frustrating for me to try to discuss the issue publicly. I do, after all, live about 45 minutes from the Ark.

Transition regret is already known and understood pretty well. The regret occurs as a person expects too much from a procedure or a social transition.

Lots of people experience sadness or regret after making a big decision.

[@tommcdonald4014]

I am concerned, Paul, about your coverage of the trans regret story as it relates to Bath Spa University's ethics committee's action. I wonder whether you are taking AIG and James Caspian's and the Daily Wire's statements as factual and unbiased when that's not ever the way to bet. As far as I know, all universities that study living subjects have an ethics committee that has to review all proposals for such studies. I had to get such a review for my Masters' thesis on a simple survey of alcohol and other drug use among technical college students. It's absolutely normal, and Caspian's proposal to study post-surgical regret/distress in trans people would have gone through Bath Spa University's ethics committee as a matter of course. He wouldn't have been singled out as he, the National Post, and AIG are claiming. This story is more than a year old and was updated as of October 22, 2018, without any comment yet from Bath Spa about their internal investigation into the situation. Might be useful to wait a bit longer to get their side of the story. So right now we have a researcher who seems to be surprised his research proposal was reviewed his university's ethics committee when he shouldn't have been surprised at all. We have the university conducting an internal investigation of the situation with no report yet on their findings. We have what appears to be a conservative paper, the National Post, reporting on it so as to cast Bath Spa in a doubtful light. We have the whole thing reported third- or fourth-hand in Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, a far right-wing hack site with a massive anti-trans agenda. And we have AIG News clucking their tongues over their skewed view of the whole fucking telephone game. I am wondering whether I misunderstood you and Morgan when you seemed to suggest that the university was wrong to deny the proposal when you don't have the university's own statement on the reason(s) why they denied the proposal. With only half the story, any position would seem to me to be premature.

[@sbushido5547]

As soon as I heard Shapiro's name attached to the story, my skepticism that it was being accurately reported by _anyone_ involved shot through the roof.

I took what they said to be that they weren't sure, given the uni's lack of transparency. (no pun intended) With that said, Ben Shapiro's a piece of shit. (Fun fact...back in the day he wrote an article about how cool it is to shave at night. Saves time in the morning!)
