Breastfeeding – a life-saving intervention
It’s World Breastfeeding Week, and guest blogger Adele Cowper shares why this is so important. In 2011, 6.9 million children aged under five died – nearly 800 an hour. The WHO estimates that over 70% of these deaths were preventable or treatable. The greatest burden of disease and death falls on under-ones, who are most […]
Courageous MP thrown out of government for refusing to back legal abortion
Ireland’s Europe minister quit last Thursday over plans to legalise abortion as Prime Minister Enda Kenny pressed ahead with legislation that has polarised the country. Kenny has provoked a strong backlash by pushing for access to abortion when a woman threatens suicide, a move that opponents say could easily open the floodgates to abortion on […]
New Berlin memorial revives memories of doctors’ role in Nazi holocaust
Officials gathered in Berlin this week to lay the foundations for a monument to the people killed as part of the Nazi ‘euthanasia’ programs. The symbolic site at Tiergartenstrasse 4 (pictured) was chosen as it was the headquarters of the original project. The planned exhibit will be dedicated to the victims of the ‘euthanasia’ program, […]
Why the RCGP should stand firm on opposing a change in the law to allow assisted suicide
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) is conducting a consultation about the College’s collective position on ‘assisted dying’. The College’s current position on the issue is that, with good palliative care, a change in legislation is not required. However, last year the RCGP Council Chair Clare Gerada (pictured) made it known that she personally favoured a move […]
Infertility treatments: new research and new warnings
A new study has found that a common form of infertility treatment increases the risk of children developing autism and mental disabilities in later life. Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting one sperm directly through the shell of an egg and depositing it inside. It is used when sperm quantity or quality is not sufficient […]

The moral status of the human embryo – when is a person?
The moral status of the embryo is one of the key pressure-points in ethical debates about post-coital contraception, therapeutic cloning, pre-implantation diagnosis, artificial reproduction, embryo research and cloning. The issue, which has profound implications for medical practice as doctors, has divided people for centuries and remains controversial. It is a fundamental principle both of Christian […]
Three parent embryos for mitochondrial disease – unsafe, unethical and unnecessary
Britain is planning to become the first country in the world to offer controversial ‘three-parent’ fertility treatments to families who want to avoid passing on mitochondrial diseases to their children The BBC reports this morning on the new techniques which it is claimed will children born through ‘three-person IVF’ who would carry genetic material from each of […]
Ethicists back sex selection for social reasons
Today sees the publication of another deliberately controversial and radical proposal, designed to provoke debate but also to soften public opinion towards removing yet another barrier to reproduction without limits or interference. ‘Leading’ medical ethicists, we are told, are proposing that all legal barriers to sex selection of children should be removed. Sex selection for […]
‘Presumed consent’ for organ donation is both unnecessary and unethical
‘Presumed consent’ for organ donation is both unnecessary and unethical. Wales could become the only UK country with an opt-out organ donation system if politicians vote to change the law today. Currently an ‘opt-in’ consent system operates across the UK. Individuals can authorise organ removal from their bodies after death by joining the Organ Donor […]
Patients, families and organ donation – who should decide? (RE-POST)
(NB: This post was originally posted in September 2012) If you live in Wales, or plan to live – or study – there for longer than six months, by 2015 you are likely to find yourself automatically registered as an organ donor, whether you are fully aware of it or not. You will have to […]
