"To me, it feels as though I am being put through years, and years, of mental torture - with no sign of a let up - because certain cliques of public officials are putting themselves above the law: and, far more importantly, that they being allowed to get away with it indefinitely - simply because there is nobody in the legal profession willing to challenge them." ... read full story / add a comment

The proposed five-year "field trial" experiment would take place from April 2006 to October 2010. The plan is to grow potatoes which are resistant to blight and won't have to be sprayed with large quantities of pesticides. The last time a company, Monsanto, carried out genetically modified (GM) sugar beet trials in Wexford and Cork it sparked a wave of protests and sabotage. The EPA says it will consider any submissions made to it within the next 28 days about risks to human health and the environment by the release of the GM potatoes. It appears that no environmental or health impact studies are planned. Following a public announcement in the Irish Independent on 26 January 2006, the deadline for related public submissions to the EPA is 5pm on 22 February 2006. http://www.friendsoftheirishenvironment.net/papers/article.php?sid=8495 ... read full story / add a comment

Dignitas was set up in 1998 by Swiss lawyer, Ludwig Minelli, who runs it as a non-profit organisation to assist people whose paliative care is felt to be too ardous and who rather favour euthnasia as an option. ["Dr Michael Irwin said he had provided "advice and encouragement" to five Britons about visiting the Dignitas clinic in Zurich during the past two years. The 74-year-old, who was struck off the medical register last year for obtaining drugs to help a friend die on the Isle of Man, also insisted he was willing to face jail over the issue. Dr Irwin told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "In the past two years I have given advice and counsel and encouragement to five terminally ill people to go from England over to Dignitas."] ... read full story / add a comment
