Gallup says today that doctor-assisted suicide is the “most controversial cultural issue” in its recent poll. Why? Because it’s the issue where opinion is divided most closely. I’m not sure that’s really much of a proxy for “most controversial,” but I guess it’s their poll, not mine.

What struck me about their list, though, was how few of these things I object to. Out of 17 issues, there were only four I objected to, and even there my objections depend on circumstances. There really wasn’t a single one that I just flatly, always think is morally unacceptable. I’m not sure what this says about me.

Anyway, here’s the list. See if you can guess the four I found kinda-sorta unacceptable. (Hint: I don’t really have a problem with human cloning, though I suppose I might change my mind if a cloned race of superhumans takes over the world and enslaves the rest of us.)

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
