Under the heading of Getting Burned on the Irony

We have this little gem from Sidney, Australia in early July. A Scientologist couple meddled with their psychotic daughter's course of antipsychotic medications. Result, dad and sister dead, mother wounded, psychotic daughter visibly hallucinating.

Not quite a current event, so I'm tucking this in Philosophy because of the religious angle. (Having read two biographies of L. Ron Hubbard back to back, I'm never going to think of Scientology as a religion. Nothing good or enlightened would have come of such a man.)

So a Scientology bigwig in Australia gets reached for comment -- and a psych professional tells him where to get off:
