This is a link to the agenda of the 17th national conference of French family lawyers. Here is part of the agenda:

9 h  – Accueil

9 h 30 à 12 h 45

Jean-Marc ANDRE, bâtonnier Versailles
Dominique ATTIAS, vice-bâtonnier Paris, présidente groupe de travail mineurs du CNB
Geneviève AVENARD, défenseure des enfants auprès du défenseur des droits (sous réserve)

Les maîtres du temps : Martine PERON et Josiane OLEOTTO-GUEY

Pause

Angleterre : John HEMMING, ancien député, avec Florence BELLONE, correspondante RTBF au Royaume-Uni

Suède : Ruby HARROLD-CLAESSON, avocate, présidente du Comité nordique des droits humains
It is interesting how lawyers across Europe are unhappy with what is being done in England (and Wales). There is also a group of Portuguese lawyers who are building up steam to challenge the system. Renate Winter's speech was interesting particularly given her long experience as a judge and on the Childrens Rights committee of the UN. There is also a meeting scheduled at the end of the month in Estonia looking moreso at issues relating to Norway.

This organisation in France is equivalent to Resolution in England. However, Resolution do not appear to wish to invite people to speak who are critical of how the system works (well they have never asked me to speak unlike the French and a Polish event in September.)

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...
