Concentration and Assisting Death

December 8, 2008

Well, two of my most interesting subjects are back in the news.

There is an article in the journal Nature today which recommends the drug Ritalin as an aid to improving concentration and memory for those without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). As sometimes I lack both, perhaps I should take some after all :-)

The other subject, assisted suicide has been raised by a member of the Scottish Parliament Margo MacDonald.

The Lothian MSP, who has Parkinson’s Disease, does not wish her own condition to be the centre of the debate, but is sure from the post she receives from her constituents that the legislation covering assisted death must be changed.
