The ethical and legal implications of deactivating an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a terminally ill cancer patient
No full textIn this paper, the ethical and legal issues raised by the deactivation of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in patients with terminal cancer is considered. It is argued that the ICD cannot be well described either as a treatment or as a non-treatment option, and thus raises complex questions regarding how rules governing deactivation should be framed. A new category called “integral devices” is proposed. Integral devices require their own special rules, reflecting their position as a “halfway house” between a form of treatment and a part of the body. The practical problems faced by doctors working in palliative medicine with regard to the deactivation of ICDs are also considere

Materialising the audience: Tim Crouch's sight specifics in England and the Author
No full textThis essay considers Tim Crouch's two most recent plays, ENGLAND and The Author, in relation to the performance spaces for which they were commissioned - respectively, a white-walled art gallery (the Fruitmarket, Edinburgh) and a black box studio theatre (the Royal Court's Theatre Upstairs, London). It examines the ways in which Crouch explores and subverts the ideological particularities of the gallery and theatre space, particularly with respect to conventions around spectatorial response. Building on a distinction drawn by art critic Brian O'Doherty, the essay proposes that the disembodied 'Eye' conventionally assumed by both gallery and end-on theatre auditorium is displaced by these plays in favour of an awkwardly materialized Spectator, both emancipated from the collective and implicated in the proceedings. © 2011 Taylor & Francis

An English Foreign Policy: Little England or Little Britain?
No full textIf the UK were to break up then how might a post-UK England relate to the rest of the British Isles, Europe, and the wider world? Will the end of the UK produce a reduced and angry ‘Little England’ or might continuity prevail and the world find itself dealing with a ‘Little Britain’? Tim Oliver considers some of the issues that may one day help answer the question of ‘who speaks for England?’
