Robert Young wrote the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on euthanasia. He freely admits that around 40% of cases are without the patient's consent: "of those terminally ill persons who have been assisted to die about sixty per cent have clearly been cases of voluntary

Why say nothing? Because you feel, in no particular order, embarrassed, a prude, shocked, waiting for a male colleague to call him out, not wanting to “rock the boat”, thinking it’s better to plough on with the day, assuming you misheard/misunderstood or just don’t get the joke.

“Come, oh sky, and weep with me” As the Taliban BANNED women from attending medical institutes today & told them to GO HOME — female students in Badakhshan sang a Persian song heavy with sorrow and longing. A cry for freedom, for dignity, for the right to dream.

How can we support and facilitate this women’s revolution? Words are not enough and gender issues need to move up the agenda. The silencing of an entire nation of women is a failure of the worlds. #UNWomen

It seems to be beyond some news agencies to report from Syria AND Gaza. It's as if events in Syria have hoovered up all the journalists and now Gaza doesn't exist. It's been deleted. Nothing is there. There is nothing to report. Nothing to say.

Rewriting history doesn’t make it true Under Starmer’s leadership we finally tackled these abuses, which had previously been handled poorly He put me in charge,we brought 100s of offenders to justice & gave voice to 1000s of victims A simple google/twitter search would show this

You know the Assisted Suicide Bill committee? The select group of MPs charged with ensuring the safest law possible? They met 8 witnesses from countries where medically assisted suicide is legal Every single one of them was pro assisted suicide Every. Single. One.

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔 Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked… 🧵1/22

I wrote a satire about how babies and children in Gaza were a danger. This week, I've seen clips of people saying the problem with Palestinian babies and children is that they grow up. I keep thinking we've reached the bottom. We haven't.

I’m not a Christian. But I believe Pope Francis was the most badass Pope in history. He refused to reduce God to a magician. Fought climate collapse. And preached like he time-traveled from 2140. Here are 9 reasons why he was lightyears ahead of his time: 🧵

I am a palliative care doctor who is not opposed to AD. But on the eve of tomorrow's vote, it boils down to this. Enshrining in law a state-funded right to die, while not enshrine a similar right to the palliative care that might make life worth living, is deeply wrong. 🧵

In this article I suggest 10 things UK, alone or with partners, could do to help the Palestinians if our Govt truly cared. All drawn from previous examples of humanitarian intervention. Western failure to do more to protect Palestinians is a choice, and a massive moral failure.
