01/22/2008: "2008"

Predictably, 2008 has been a bit slower out of the blocks than its predecessor; there be no books coming out at this point, and no other publications either. I did write a chapter on end of life issues for Tolley's 'Law and the Older Client', which should be out soon, and Sandy informs me that the final ms for 'Bioethics Through film' has been submitted, so with a bit of luck, there will be some things creeping into print in due course. But not yet.

The real excitement for '08, though, will hopefully be on the talk/conference circuit. In April, I've been invited to give a talk at the Tilburg Institute of Science and Technology. This came out of a very fruitful - and enjoyable - meeting with Han Somsen, with whom I look forward to meeting up again, and setting the world (and Scottish and Dutch football) to rights over a few pints.

In May, I'm giving a paper to the Institute of Psychiatry at KCL. And at the end of July - funding permitting - I'll be off to Recife, Brazil for the Medical Law Congress, and to meet up with another old pal, Eduardo Dantas. The rest of the year looks increasingly like a decent into environmentally irresponsible madness, with possible trips to Beijing and Chicago in the offing. Yup, I'm looking at another carbon footprint of sasquatch proportions.
