Why the fuck should we ever have to ask a judge this? Hey judge why don't you tell us how we cure cancer? Judge, judge, what is dark matter? Please, you are the ultimate authority on all things!
Well get used to it because the US Supreme Court is about to (probably) do away with Chevron deference.
It's stupid but the article says why:
I know why the courts would ask but in general this is something a single judge has no authority on. The idea that a single person gets to define what "life" is absurdity. We have army's of scholars following strict rules of logic, ethics, and are backed by science. Their consensus is more compatible with human society than some dusty book.
Absurdity indeed!
