Greater than Google – final reflections on the Developing Health Course
I’m back in the office after the Developing Health Course, analysing feedback forms, tying up loose ends and reflecting on the hectic two weeks we had.What have the participants taken away from the course? These days you can learn everything about everything on the internet – guidelines, protocols, facts, figures and photos – they’re all […]
Martin Pistorius: a story about faith, hope and love through ‘locked in syndrome’
The Sunday Times today tells the story of Martin Pistorius, a South African man who ended up paralysed and comatose following a throat infection at the age of 12. His awareness began to improve four years later and by the age of 19 had fully returned. However it was a further five years before a […]
Britain promotes media advertising for abortion whilst Russia attempts to curb it
The Daily Telegraph carried the story earlier this month that private clinics which carry out abortions will be allowed to advertise on television and radio for the first time, under new rules. ‘Under the draft recommendations, drawn up by the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP), which regulates TV and radio commercials, dozens of independent […]
Italy joins Bulgaria and France in blocking euthanasia legislation
Earlier this year I reported that France, Australia, Scotland, Israel and Canada had recently blocked legislation to allow euthanasia or assisted suicide. Last week the Bulgarian parliament Health Committee overwhelmingly rejected a bill to legalize euthanasia and the State of Oregon (where assisted suicide has been legal since 1997) passed a law making it illegal […]
Abortion and mental health: is there a link?
This is a question that has been the subject of many a debate in academia, in politics, in the public square and amongst those directly affected by abortion. In an attempt to provide a more definitive answer the Department of Health and the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) have recently funded and carried out a […]
Is Treatment Becoming the New Prevention Fad for HIV & AIDS?
Two new studies (one in Kenya and Uganda, the other in Botswana) were published this week suggesting that administering HIV antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to the general population could reduce the risks of HIV transmission by 60-70%. In May we reported on a study that showed this worked for reducing infection rates between sero-dsicordant couples (i.e. […]
Emmerdale injects some reality into its depiction of the sequelae of assisted suicide
I am not an Emmerdale fan but I was interested to see the way the Soap is developing the story following the assisted suicide of a character with spinal injury. As I blogged previouslythe number of people with spinal cord injuries wanting to kill themselves is very low indeed. The overwhelming majority, with the right kind […]
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis is too high a price for a perfect baby
Last week the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) held its annual meeting in Stockholm, Sweden on 3-6 July. Not surprisingly we had a number of stories from the papers presented at that meeting filtering into the media, the most notable of which was the Aberdeen study of the link between abortion and premature […]
More brief euthanasia updates from around the world – some good, some bad
I have recently posted two blogs giving a round up of international euthanasia news, both of which have attracted a lot of interest and have been copied onto several other websites. Both are still steadily attracting new visitors and I get the impression that there is a huge amount of ignorance in this country about […]
Highly billed London pro-abortion rally draws small group of ‘usual suspects’
The pro-abortion lobby has been working up to it for months but today’s rally in Old Palace Yard Westminster has broken records only for deep yawns and low attendance. The event was trailed by the Guardian, trumpeted by Abortion Rights, promoted by Liberal Conspiracy, the country’s most popular blog, and even featured on the new British version of Huffington Post.It […]
Independent counselling and balanced information for women contemplating abortion edge ever closer
Abortion ‘providers’, such as BPAS and Marie Stopes, could soon be stripped of their ability to counsel women under plans being considered by the Government.I previously commented on the move by two MPs, Frank Field and Nadine Dorries, to offer women the right to independent counselling for abortion that is not provided by the abortion industry itself.

The most important thing is to drink tea
One of the participants works in a war-torn region of Sudan. Most of the six million people from the region have either been internally displaced, fled to other countries or died. Joy (name changed) has been there for six years and is now the medical co-ordinator of a primary health care programme. Five clinics provide […]
