Five quick videos on the Falconer Commission on ‘Assisted Dying’ – What is it all about?
5 January 2012 marked the launch of the findings of the Commission on Assisted Dying, proposed by Dignity in Dying, funded by Sir Terry Pratchett and chaired by Lord Falconer (pictured). The Commission has called for a change in the law in England and Wales, to allow assisted suicide for adults who are terminally ill […]

It is our great privilege and pleasure to announce that Dr. Olive Frost is the most worthy winner of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA) HIV Initiative Dignity and Right to Health Award for 2011. The “Dignity and Right to Health Award” is an activity of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association HIV […]
Nursing Initiative: More tinkering at the edges?
In the face of a growing and alarming number of reports on poor standards of care for vulnerable patients in the NHS and the community, the Prime Minister today has launched an initiative to try and tackle the problem in hospital nursing. This is after yesterday also announcing a move back to integration of health […]
Lord Falconer’s commission – help in reading what lies between the lines in their press release
Lord Falconer’s Commission on Assisted Dying is reporting today. I have reproduced below their press release which needs to be taken with a large helping of salt. I have added my own comments marked in italics in order to help people read ‘between the lines’ Expert panel proposes framework to underpin any future change in […]
Individuals and Organisations who refused to give evidence to Falconer Commission
The Falconer Commission on ‘Assisted Dying’, which publishes its report today, has been accused (quite rightly) of being unnecessary, biased and lacking transparency. It was sponsored by Dignity in Dying, formerly the Voluntary Euthanasia Society, and financed by Terry Pratchett one of their patrons, with panel members being handpicked by Lord Falconer (pictured), a leading […]
What Falconer does not say about assisted suicide is even more worrying than what he does say
On New Year’s day, Lord Falconer (pictured) wrote an opinion piece for the Daily Telegraph with the specious title ‘A duty of care to our last days on Earth’. It was subtitled ‘Do Britain’s laws on assisted dying work, and if not, what should replace them?’ The piece was an advertorial for the much trumpeted […]
Calls for action on care need to be heeded
When I wrote last July about how the findings of the Dilnot Commission into the funding of social care for the elderly looked likely to be admired but ignored by Government, I feared that the matter of how we care as a society for our most vulnerable members was once again being kicked into the […]
Charles Falconer’s bent jury
Charles Falconer’s ‘Commission on Assisted Dying’ is due to report on Thursday 5 January 2012, over a year after it first launched in November 2010, but its recommendations have already being leaked (ie. pre-announced) this week and we can expect more drip-drip as the week goes on. The commission was originally ‘suggested’ by the pressure […]
Ireland’s Gain, England’s Loss
A fascinating new comparative analysis of the effects of abortion on a whole country’s population and health has been published this week. Ireland and Northern Ireland both have far more restrictive laws on abortion than England, Wales and Scotland and thus provide a neat comparison of statistical data between the different countries. A new report […]
‘Alcohol is blighting our communities’ says church poll
A YouGov poll published today on behalf of three major British Christian denominations has revealed that 61% of British adults believe that excessive drinking is a problem in their local area. The Baptists, Methodists and United Reformed Churches have expressed concerns about the increasing availability of cheap alcohol and the effects this might be having […]
Sham euthanasia report from Canada should make us more wary
Charlie Falconer’s sham ‘Commission on Assisted Dying’ is due to report on 5 January 2012, over a year after it first launched in November 2009. The private commission was set up by Falconer because Dignity in Dying (previously the Voluntary Euthanasia Society) had failed three times since 2006 in legalizing assisted suicide in Britain and […]
98% of abortions in Britain are technically illegal, and many will lead to mental health problems for women
One of the most comprehensive and systematic reviews to date into the link between abortion and mental health problems has confirmed that women who have an unplanned pregnancy are at an increased risk of experiencing mental health problems after an abortion. The Review also highlights which women are most at risk of mental health problems […]
