'European Commissioner for Human Rights questions legitimacy of European Mental Capacity legislation'

The link is to a comment by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe in which he says, inter alia, "Persons with intellectual and psycho-social disabilities are today routinely placed under a guardianship regime in several European countries - they are deprived of their “legal capacity”. In the eyes of the law they are seen as non-persons and their decisions have no legal relevance. This policy violates agreed human rights standards."

I have always thought this to some extent in any way.

couldn't really let that one go by without saying soemthing....but I am getting more than a lil sick of constantly explaining the blatantly obvious to numpties on this planet....

in reality there is NO SUCH THING as a mental illness- humans are complex emotional beings by their very nature....evrybody is different....arguably the only ones with 'something wrong with them' are the one's who go around unilaterally deciding who is and who isn't...they dnt even accuse their victim of anything....just attack and bad mouth people behind their backs....not even pretense of a jury, judge or any 'legal process'...

same page though....post on conscientious objectors to military service....didn't know that/ but just isn't true in practice.....but how is that any different to a 'campaign of civil disobedience'? and presumably not legal to violetly attack pople who do that sort of thing...pre-emptively or otherwise!

another recent article...suspected pigyobs attacked this guy with dogs, sveral dozen of them, heavily armed wearing masks (not the dogs)...didn't say anything, deliberately drove a van into him....never accused him of breaking any law or anything...but apparently they used the fact that he tried to defend himself (no evidence of that either) as 'evidence' of a mental illness...not that he had any chance of defending agains the accusation by the time they got around to accusing...already chemically labotimised several months previous and fried with electrodes to the brain....vegetable, basically.....how absurd is that?

anybody that does any work, paid or otherwise, for this govt/ gang is just as guilty....it's the law apparently! not that i'm any kind of naval vessle, obviously.....

Why are babies born young?

Why are babies born young? This sounds like an odd question. People would say "of course babies are born young". However, this goes to the core of the question of human (or animal) development. Why is it that as time passes people develop initially through puberty and then for women through menopause and more generally getting diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer, but most of the time babies start showing no signs of this. Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin
