NO RESPONSE is NO "DISCUSSION"
What I have noticed as Moderator of this Bioethics Discussion Blog is that there is the fact that readers contribution of their own views have been markedly absent if the last visitor posting was years previously. Yet, I find with documented evidence, that there are currently repeated access to these "older" thread title subjects but nobody currently writes presumably because they might assume that the topic discussion is closed. And yet, most of the topics, even if years have passed without comment by readers, are actually of current interest and are currently being referred to by Google and other resources and are actually being read. No reactive response means no discussion!
My request is for readers who access those "older" blog thread titles to realize that they are CURRENTLY being read by others, are of CURRENT INTEREST and should be written to, presenting your opinion, even if the last visitor comment posting was 5, 10 or more years ago. Your words and views will be read by myself but also by others.. so let's hear from you and your opinions. Remember: NO RESPONSE IS NO DISCUSSION and this a Bioethics DISCUSSION Blog. ..Maurice.

A REMINDER: To FIND a TOPIC which interests you, simply type in a topic name in the input field at the upper LEFT at the TOP this page and you will be presented with a page containing all the threads containing that topic. ..Maurice.
Maurice,
I go back and look for references that I made in the past. In many cases, because the conversation has advanced, it would be pointless to comment.
For instance, when you believed that that those who spoke of dignity violations were outliers, where now you acknowledge that the frequency and regularity that it occurs. So what does one say: "I told you so?" or "You were wrong?" What purpose would that serve?
I have seen concepts presented on this blog (especially in regards to patient dignity) end up in policy statements (many verbatim) for health care organizations.

Banterings, are you referring to the "Preserving Patient Dignity" thread? I was not writing about that thread but to the dozens and dozens of other threads related to other bioethical and medical ethical issues which though read by my visitors to my blog are not responded to. It was my theory that the reason for reading but not contributing is because the date of the last visitor posting was years ago and the reader may not consider that the subject (whatever it was) is still being accessed and read.
Banterings, your contribution to the topics other than "Preserving Patient Dignity". Again, easiest way to get to the thread is to put a topic which interests you in the blank field left upper top margin of the page and click on the displayed magnifier glass. ..Maurice.
Banterings, as an example write "poem" in the blank, click and see the series of threads you get displayed. I am sure you will be interested to enter your view to at least one of them and I'll be returning there for my feedback. ..Maurice.
