Where do they say that? Do they have a legal authority for the proposition that some people who have mental capacity do not have the same rights as others?

There is another issue which arouses interest and indicates the difficulty of obtaining transparency and objectivity in the modern world where small groups of people circulate through the job field. I do not suggest that there is any impropriety here, but there is something which should be...

The more I learn the less clear I become about what is meant by "deconditioning" in this context. The concern is that those who use the term may be equally unaware and switch between uses without any understanding of what they mean in any particular statement. It would help if ambiguity could be...

As an economist one has to assume that Blanchflower must have calculated the "opportunity cost" of the expenditure of time on writing these tweets, and concluded that this was the most productive form of employment. One presumes this must relate to his interest in the role of happiness...

What has "inertism" ever achieved?

Dr Simon Aylwin is a consultant endocrinologist broad clinical practice in endocrinology and special interests in thyroid disorders, thyroid nodules, pituitary tumours, adrenal tumours and cancer, neuroendocrine tumours, inherited endocrine tumour syndromes and obesity. Dr Aylwin has an...

I hope that somewhere there is a nosologist looking for any increase in the length of a certain nose. If one, for instance, looks at Sharp's chapter on chronic fatigue in Science and Practice of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy one sees various models in diagrammatic form. There is "A generic...

It is unfortunate when people decide that they are leaders, when no-one wishes to follow them. Such is life. There may be some views which should not go unchallenged but for the most part they can probably be left talking to each other.

Now you're just having a laugh.

This comment ""just because the insurers were not involved in the study...". needs further questioning. Is there not evidence that in 2003 PDW was Chief Medical Officer of Swiss Re? This is not someone who writes occasional case reports for the company. This is presumably a salaried post for...

On the question of revolution Camus' description in The Rebel is worth recalling. The revolutionary merely wishes to replace the old-guard with himself and his friends. The rebel wishes to assert a change in values.

One has to wonder whether, in this matter, they show "equipoise". Removing a child from parents and home also causes emotional trauma. How are the contrasting traumas evaluated and compared?

It's worse than that, isn't it? Have they ever defined it? We have discussed before that they appear to use the word in a specific and unusual way.

Could the MRC really provide funding for a trial without making it a condition for funding that it followed their own Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice?

You think he's that worried about it?

I wonder how much reinsurance work Swiss-Re does for Unum. I don't suppose we'll ever know.

I agree that by any reasonable standards those declarations appear wholly inadequate. It may, of course, be the case that wholly unreasonable is perfectly adequate for these purposes. Did he only receive fees? That suggests normal professional fees for normal consultations and ad hoc advice. It...

Was it the case that all researchers who were refused access to the data refused to confirm an intention to adhere to conditions in relation to confidentiality agreements? Or does the statement in the letter conceal a half truth? In a letter from a lawyer one might reasonably have expected the...

Do you think they have not heard about the delay in publication of "the article"?
