Lord Falconer has suffered enough – it’s time to put him out of his misery
Lord Falconer’s ‘Assisted Dying Bill’, which reaches its Committee Stage in the House of Lords on Friday 7 November, seeks to legalise assisted suicide (but not euthanasia) for mentally competent adults (>18) with less than six months to live subject to ‘safeguards’ under a two doctors’ signature model similar to the Abortion Act 1967. The […]
Should the NHS continue to fund IVF treatment?
Recently, the mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) voted to stop offering IVF treatment on the NHS. Now, in that CCG, only patients who can prove that their circumstances are exceptional, for example, if they are undergoing cancer treatment that will make them infertile, may be able to access IVF, but this will be decided […]

Ebola – How to help
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa a Public Health Emergency of International Concern – only the third time in its history it has made such a declaration. Despite this, the international effort to stem the Ebola outbreak has been ‘dangerously inadequate.’ (MSF August 2014). Exponential growth On 25 […]
A Chilling Prospect
‘Smart Women Freeze.’ So states the advert for an ‘egg freezing event’ in New York last week, run by EggBanxx .

Elderly pro-euthanasia campaigner starves herself to death in high-profile attempt to advance her cause
A long-term pro-euthanasia campaigner has starved herself to death over five weeks because she could not have her life ended legally.

The survey consists of four multi-choice questions with the option to write a more detailed response. It closes on 17 November. The questions are: 1. Do you support a change in the law to permit assisted suicide by […]
The DPP needs to explain to Parliament why she has effectively decriminalised physician assisted suicide
In an astounding about face for the Crown Prosecution Service, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders (pictured), has today rewritten her prosecution policy so that doctors can now be involved in assisting suicide without fear of prosecution, provided they don’t have a professional relationship with those they ‘help’ (See Daily Mail here and here, Daily Telegraph, […]

Sierra Leone is where British boots on the ground are really needed
As the British government convened a pledging conference for Ebola in London Thursday, a group of 34 NGOs called for the deployment of ‘military capacity’ to contain the disease in West Africa. There is a letter in today’s Lancet along the same lines. Here is the Joint statement from 34 NGOs issued yesterday by the International Conference on Effective International Response to […]
Taking nothing for granted – reflections from a missionary in Ecuador
It was a situation I never, in all honesty, expected to find myself in. A fellow missionary had phoned asking me to see a short-term volunteer who was, “suffering from a bit of asthma.” Two hours later I was in the back of our pick-up truck, performing resuscitation when the bumps allowed, while my husband […]
