Diane Pretty The Diane Pretty case holds personal interest for Cyberdoc as a member of our church, who died only recently, had also been suffering from Motor Neurone Disease. Using a computer and email to communicate she spoke of her faith in God to the end and valued her life as...
Missionary Doctors I wrote this piece with the terrible news of planes being flown into American buildings echoing in my ears. My thoughts were going out to by our American doctor colleagues with the horrors they no doubt were facing. I heard early reports of imminent and significant retaliation being...
Jehovah Witnesses and Blood The Associated Jehovah's Witnesses for Reform on Blood (AJWRB) website is fascinating. It is written by some current Jehovah's Witnesses (including some serving elders) and others who have left. It has the feel of a secret society warning its members to be cautious as one brother...

6 billion people - a cause for celebration or commiseration? The The Population Research Bureau site makes no secret of its views. Medical abortion is advocated as an answer to this crisis on its front page. Although there seem to be pages of information I cannot bring myself to hang...
