One of those amazing little coincidences

I read the post where Ilkka makes well-deserved fun of conservative bioethics, and one of the conservative bioethicist arguments that he is making fun of is:

When people feel an immediate repugnance and strong emotional opposition against something such as nuclear power or genetic engineering, that repugnance itself proves that something to be objectively bad... except when this immediate repugnance is felt against, say, gay people or people of other races.

My immediate reaction to this was: hey, I feel an immediate repugnance and strong emotional opposition against Leon Kass, does this mean that Leon Kass is objectively bad?

Five minutes later I find that this argument actually has a name, Wisdom of repungance, and has an entry in the Wikipedia, and this entry says that this argument was in fact invented by Leon Kass.

Why a person as profoundly disgusting as Kass wants to make the argument that everything disgusting is bad, I do not know.

For those who do not know, Kass is the chairman of the US President's Council on Bioethics, and is pretty much the kind of guy that Catholic Church used to employ in the Middle Ages for its own scientific councils.
