[@mukundbali5076]

Hey! I'm conducting some research on a very similar topic, but with reference to euthanasia in India. Would it be possible for you to maybe send me a copy of your paper so that I can try and gain a better understanding of how to approach it?

[@colinwilliams9855]

Thanks for this! It really helped my studies.

Un crá el viejo! Hi, I'm from Uruguay, and I love the Michael Kirby argument/speech! I want to have professor like him in our public University

After trawling through paper after paper and R v Smith and summaries of Hart and Devlin's writings as well as mills and the rest I keep coming back to this video to get a grip. Oh I'm overwhelmed with information and struggling to explain about morality but this video really helps me focus. Michael Kirby I salute you l.

As someone whose analyzing and discussing the conflict of law and morality highlighted in the Trinity Western University vs. LSUC case right now, J. Kirby's concluding speech was moving. There is no life without liberty.

[@daphneomoijiade9324]

Thank youuuuu

[@friendlyattack1181]

What we can and should do with that liberty is engage and understand each other

Hello Denis

This was insightful

10:50 summary

[@friendlyattack1181]

The atomised individual and society "over and above" are not the only forms where society exists. There is family, local community, religious community, friends, work life, sport, wider society, local government, many different settings and spheres for different purposes. A common set of values could include shared recognition and respect for variety and differing values privately held. One of those values could be the privately held tolerance of multiple values. People can coexist and communicate and benefit society without being totally integrated morally, that's more akin to assimilation.

[@chrisgumb8986]

I feel really bad for those who had to defend Devlin's stance in this debate.

[@enlighteneddespot9359]

Funny, 9 years later, how much law is required to enforce the lack of laws.... there is a natural law argument there for the next debate

[@toppcatt5113]

So its law and order versus sexual perversion, in a nutshell.

[@faronray5903]

5-6.20

[@150_md.mahinabdullah7]

I believe in Devlin supremacy

[@bhagawatibhandari7832]
