🧵In July 2024 I broke news that the BMA was planning to vote on a motion to "disavow" the Cass Review & work with others to oppose implementation of its recommendations. Nearly two years' later, the union has officially dropped its opposition, after conducting its own review.

"I was not an expert in mental health issues, but I was extremely familiar with human rights law including the right to liberty." (Lord Jonathan Sumption, a judge on Cheshire West, discussing "expertise" on the SC panel, then + now) openjusticecourtofprotection… via @OpenJusticeCoP

Jonathan Sumption talks to Celia Kitzinger about the work of a Supreme Court judge

“if there’s a decision of the Supreme Court that is arguably wrong, the sooner we decide whether it is, the better…. There is no such thing as an infallible institution.”

Excellent, clear and provocative discussion of the relationship between #Embryos and #EmbryoModels. Should they be regulated in the same manner? Is a replica a model? What teaches us more? #BioEthics @profEmmaCave shorturl.at/ruiB4
