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

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
