Next week I will be in Scotland debating against the legalization of assisted suicide. The following are the planned events:
Scotland:
November 11, I will be debating at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh versus Jeremy Purvis MSP, Time: 13.00 – 15.00 hrs. Subject: “Should Assisted Dying be Legalized in Scotland?” I believe this event is by invitation only.
November 12: Glasgow University Union, 32 University Avenue, Glasgow, G12 8LX, Title of event: ‘Should assisted dying be legalised in Scotland?’ Time: 19.00-20.30 hrs, versus Dr. Alasdair Maclean, MBBS, M.Jur., PhD – Dundee University School of Law.
November 13: “Assisted Dying: A Good Death or a Choice Too Far?” Time: 19.30 hrs versus Dr.Libby Wilson: Friends at the End. Church of Scotland General Assembly Hall, Mound Place, EH1 2LX, Centre of Edinburgh. Tickets: Normal Price £ 5, Concession £ 2.
London
After that, it is off to London where I will be giving one lecture on Monday evening, November 16. Time, 6:00 PM. Title: “The Culture of Death in the United Kingdom: A Perfect Storm.” Location, the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane Street, SW1X, 9SG.
I may be doing various media and perhaps, other events to be announced.
I hope SHSers in Scotland and England can attend. I would very much like to meet you.

I’ve had the intuitive feeling lately that Second Hand Smoke is having a great impact. (I still miss the little flags with the numbers by them, and I hope SHS isn’t just on First Things; however it’s happening, though, I can sense that it’s making a difference.) Wish those of us in the U.S. as well as those in the U.K. could be there next week. It’s going to be great.

Thanks Ianthe. The flags are kaput, but the blog is going strong. I hope you are correct about its impact. I appreciate your loyalty and contributions

Thanks for putting up with me, Wesley. I get a little caustic sometimes; that’s my reaction to what’s going on.
