Human Genetics Alert/Bulletin of Medical Ethics Ethics Cafi
Wednesday 10th December 6.30pm
The Bull 292-294 St Johns Street Clerkenwell (Angel)
MMR AND IMMUNISATION: IS IT GOOD FOR YOUR CHILDREN?
* Who benefits, the individual or the herd?
* Is coercion ever acceptable, and why is the DoH moving towards it?
* Is the public told the truth about measles and MMR?
* Why is the DoH putting at risk the most cost-effective part of the
* whole NHS?
These are just some of the questions which will be asked as we develop
a debate around the ethical implications behind the immunisation of
children.
Now it's your turn to have a say, whether for or against you are
invited to attend an informal discussion led by our special guest Dr.
Richard Nicholson (Editor of the Bulletin of Medical Ethics). Our
speaker will highlight the main arguments surrounding the topic and
the audience is encouraged to discuss and question the issues further.
Following the historical example of French philosophers, and with the
recent proliferation of Science Cafes around Britain, these informal
and free of charge events are held on a monthly basis in a bar in
Islington.
