The problem with contemporary politics is the either-or conceptualisation of things, which is based on a simple binary form of metaphysics that roughly divides the left from the right right.
The right screams about moral responsibility.
The left says, "There's no guilt. Just take a pill for what ails you."
Neither of these views necessarily make much sense.
To avoid metaphysics, it would be far better to frame problems in terms of quality of life, rather than morality and its flipside of a guilt-free existence.
For instance: would quality of life be enhanced in the long term by simply taking a pill?
If not what are the alternatives?
