#LizCarr has stepped away from acting to advocate against the legalization of assisted suicide. Her latest #documentary, "Better Off Dead?", explores the implications of such laws, focusing on how they endanger disabled individuals.

Travelling to Canada, Carr investigates the effects of permissive assisted suicide laws. There not only the terminally ill can opt for a medically assisted death. This practice is even extended to those facing social deprivation, presenting a grave ethical dilemma.

In Britain, Carr meets with staunch opponents, including Baroness Jane Campbell, who shares a personal story of having a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order placed on her without consent.

"[E]veryone involved [is] afraid of being sued (far beyond the statistical danger of actually being sued) every time they deviate from the standard of care."

The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.

La norme sociale est construite : elle ne se produit pas naturellement mais est créée par la société dans laquelle on la trouve.
Il n'y a donc pas d'actions qui soient intrinsèquement anormales ou universellement condamnées par toutes les sociétés à tout moment. La déviance est donc situationnelle et contextuelle.

"The #structure reveals rGAT1 in a cytosol-facing #conformation, with a linear density in the primary binding site that accommodates a molecule of #GABA, a displaced ion density proximal to Na site 1 and a bound #chloride ion. A unique insertion in TM10 aids the formation of a compact, closed #extracellular gate. Besides yielding mechanistic insights into #ion and substrate recognition, our study will enable the #rational #design of specific #antiepileptics."

"Disciplinary #normalisation consists first of all in positing a model, an optimal model that is constructed in terms of a certain result, and the operation of disciplinary normalization consists in trying to get people, movements, and actions to conform to this model, the normal being precisely that which can conform to this norm, and the abnormal that which is incapable of conforming to the norm.
In other words, it is not the normal and the abnormal that is fundamental and primary in disciplinary normalisation, it is the norm.
That is, there is an originally prescriptive character of the norm and the determination and the identification of the #normal and the #abnormal becomes possible in relation to this posited norm."

Michel #Foucault in ’#Safety, Territory, Population’, a lecture given at the Collège de France on 25th January 1978; in French : http://www.guillaumenicaise.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/foucault-le%C3%A7on-du-25-janvier-1978.pdf
