Well are now into March 2007 and all will wondering (or not) where all the free lunches went. The reviewing feel into dissarray with my motivation which is now back with avengence.
Two free lunches were reviewed this week: both controversial, both intense and both presented by excellent experienced speakers.
Tuesday: What is more controversal or disturbing than the treatment programmes for convicted sexual offenders against children/adolescents. I'm not too sure, perhaps Friday's seminar presented by Prof Arthur B Lafrance (a constitutional lawyer by trade) on the physician assisted death statute in Oregon, USA. Currently the only jurisdiction in the world to have such a law (now before you shout "what about the Netherlands?!?", they have an agreement that Doctors who perform euthanasia (taking an active part in the killing) will not be prosecuted for homicide).
What occurs in Oregon is that if someone has 6 months to live, and has been an Oregon resident for over a year, they can request a prescription for a barbiturate overdose that they adminster orally themselves. I'm not sure what my opinion is on this yet. But that was todays talk. All the details, stats etc are here.
Today I found out where the Canterbury DHB free lunch comes from... Medirest, is a wholly owned subsidiary of compass the compass group, a FTSE100 listed company that brings in 11 billion pounds of revenue per annum.... That's alot of club sandwiches and egg containing tortilla wraps.
