Nope.
Surprised that still exists as an option. This Brexit thing wasn't all it was cracked up to be apparently.A 48-hour delay to ending treatment has been ordered so the family can appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
This is going to sound stupid but I don't understand why the European Court of Human Rights is hearing the case post-Brexit."A 48-hour delay to ending treatment has been ordered so the family can appeal to the European Court of Human Rights."
ugh
Because the ECHR isn't an EU thing.This is going to sound stupid but I don't understand why the European Court of Human Rights is hearing the case post-Brexit.
A huge amount of our law is tied into European law and the law moves very slowly.This is going to sound stupid but I don't understand why the European Court of Human Rights is hearing the case post-Brexit.
Duh, I also cannot read. Sorry, @AnOminous.
Thank you. I felt like a huge, uneducated Amerifag saying that but it's been gnawing at me. I appreciate the informative and respectful response.Because the ECHR isn't an EU thing.
The UK left the European Union; its still part of Europe, and has some shared resources stillthankfully

Wow that list of disorders. Although that's about really strict sects like amish and mennonite I bet it applies to a lesser degree to other types of Insular fundies. Thinking of JillPMs janessa and her funky brain structure.I grew up very near a Hutterite community. Their contributions to the local farmer's markets were extraordinary. Their community has all the issues any Anabaptist sect does, but they did always seem friendly and open to answering questions about their culture.
All the talk about inbreeding among religious communities reminded me of a pediatric genetics clinic in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania called the Clinic for Special Children. The County is home to many Old Order Amish and Mennonite "plain people", with a high incidence of otherwise incredibly rare genetic disorders. Back in the 1980s, a pediatrician was completing his residency at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which is among the best facility of its kind in the world. He diagnosed an Amish child with a rare metabolic disorder called glutaric acidemia, and recognized the need for a clinic to provide care for these children with exceedingly rare diseases while also maintaining sensitivity to their religious beliefs. For the record, Old Order Amish and Mennonites will accept technology and interact with the English for this purpose.
Anyway, the Clinic is really interesting, and I thought some people might be interested in their list of disorders and which populations are known to have been affected. They have a list of publications, as well.
In Israel they keep a genetic registry of these disorders to keep those nasty recessives from pairing up and have essentially eliminated diseases like Tay-Sachs, outside of the usual inbred cultist "ultra-Orthodox" groups who are just as much of a plague as they are here.Just being "ordinary" ashkenazi Jewish comes with a high risk of all kinds of genetic fuckery because of a bottleneck in ancient history all ashkenazis are descended from like 120 individuals or something.

It's probably not a coincidence to many tater moms are fundies and not just because they won't abort.
I semi often get ads on Facebook for a fundraiser for some kid that lost the generic lottery and without fail they're from an insular minority religious community.

Never mind the orthodox/hassidic Jews who are actively creating their own bottlenecks in the present.
I was just about to comment on this. Jews (for the most part) are heavily inbred. In the Middle Ages they descend from a population of 350 people; their maternal line is what is ancient and contains ties to the Levant. The male lineage is almost European/non Jewish; so they're not exactly white, but they have significant ancestry. Anyways, in Israel, abortion is legal (and paid for by American taxpayers; Evangelicals are not aware of this, lol) and you need to go before a three-person committee if you are in a public hospital. Since Orthodox Jews are heavily inbred, and famously against contraceptives and abortion Israelis who want a better life for themselves and their children get genetic screenings done. They have an entire program for it.In Israel they keep a genetic registry of these disorders to keep those nasty recessives from pairing up and have essentially eliminated diseases like Tay-Sachs, outside of the usual inbred cultist "ultra-Orthodox" groups who are just as much of a plague as they are here.
too many people for any kind of bottleneck.I wonder if China has the potential to have large genetic deformities like for example Pakistan with inbreeding. Except the reason why they have deformed babies is environmental in some way.
Wow still railing against that doctorThis came up on my FB feed this morning. Would have been Claire’s 21st birthday yesterday.

I get what you're saying, but her daughters are still dead, and were once a major part of her life. Her life and identity of caring for those girls is still gone.Wow still railing against that doctor
Member when we used to throw a huge party that you couldn't take part in? Because you were a tater? And I used to write hate mail to a paediatrician? Member? Ahh memories
Watched the video in the article and they mention how the polio vaccine got banned in Nigeria in 2003. Today they can vaccinate and it shows a line of mothers holding their baby waiting to be vaccinated.IDK if anyone heard about the case of polio in New York State, the first in the U.S. in over a decade. At first, I wondered if the person had recently emigrated or traveled from a country that still used the oral polio vaccine, because this was the strain they harbored, but it turns out they were unvaxed.
Since it's not far from that insular Jewish community, I'm wondering if that's where they grew up.
A straight up mockery of a human. Like you're looking at something literally soulless, a fucked up puppet that looks too human. That is the uncanny valley.Reminds me of a worm or some kind of insect you instinctively want to smash to death.
