Even on a good day, I’d be hard pressed to score seven out of ten on the looks front — and there have been precious few good days since I turned 30. Most of the time, I don’t ca…

The draft Mental Health Bill had proposed allowing people to face compulsory treatment even if their condition could not be treated. Under the plans, they would have been able to be held for 28 days before facing…

Babies born at or before 22 weeks should not be resuscitated or given intensive care, a report says. The recommendation is being put forward by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, which considers ethical questions raised by advances in medical research.
