Unwanted intimate examinations treated as essential in the name of protection of fairness in sports, accepting that as a justification for gross violations. I recently wrote a blog on this with @jonathanherring.bsky.social and @camillapickles.bsky.social www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2024/11/18/u...

Yes. But is “I’ve not been shown to lack capacity’ sufficient to access assisted dying? I would have thought we would want a much more robust test of capacity than that

New blog with @jonathanherring.bsky.social and @camillapickles.bsky.social: unwanted intimate examinations often go unchallenged, framed as 'necessary'. We want to broaden the conversation beyond healthcare, identifying areas for further research #LawSky www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2024/11/18/u...

Unwanted intimate examinations, patriarchy and power over marginalised bodies - Transforming Society

Marthe Goudsmit Samaritter, Jonathan Herring and Camilla Pickles highlight how intimate examinations transcend maternity care, exposing power imbalances and violations against marginalised bodies.

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill clause 3 states:

In this Act, references to a person having capacity are to be read in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

This is a bit odd as the 2005 Act describes those who lack capacity. There is no explicit definition of who has capcacity

Very excited to be part of a team looking at how we describe conditions/disabilities and the importance of highlighting the positive aspects as well as the negative aspects. In this case Fragile X syndrome.
