This conceptual paper considers the practice implications of assisted dying for contemporary nursing practice within the United Kingdom in response to the publication of a parliamentary report leading to a private members' bill that will form the basis of a debate and possible change in legislation. A recurring theme within the nursing research is how nurses should respond to patients expressing an interest or making a request for assisted dying. This paper explores contemporary evidence and argues that the procedure of assisted dying is a complex (manifold) and puzzling (paradoxical) practice.

Selective abortion of female fetuses is a widespread, illegal, and profoundly consequential form of family planning in contemporary India. In Gujarat state, public health campaigns against the practice rely on narratives exhibiting the hallmarks of melodrama: good-evil binaries, stock characters, emotional provocations, simplistic diagnoses, and inevitable triumphs. As biopolitical truths, such narratives resonate ethically and emotionally for people.

The paper offers a critical reading of the dominant ways we frame and understand anxiety in adolescence. These centre on the individual and for the most part limit attention to external and social influences operating at a close scale to the individual.

Despite PCa becoming an emerging health priority in East Asia, our knowledge remains limited.
