Our concern as sufferers of this illness are with the living and those not yet born. The ethics dilemma does not seem that important when one’s mobility, health and other complications associated with this illness are uppermost in our minds and present us with many problems each and every day. If this appears uncaring and inconsiderate I make no apology. The “greater good” is always a decent and honest motivation for ethical research of the type recently undertaken by Professor Korbonits and her team rather than these gentlemen agonizing over a 240 year old skeleton.

I’m not the one organising the conference – I’m just re-posting the information from them.

To get an answer to your question, you would have to go to the website of the organisers for further information.

]]> Comment on Is Indiana Jones a real archaeologist? by Steven Jones http://www.elginism.com/similar-cases/is-indiana-jones-a-real-archaeologist/20080527/1121/comment-page-1/#comment-17815 Steven Jones Fri, 19 Apr 2013 07:59:56 +0000 http://www.elginism.com/20080527/1121/#comment-17815 The problem is that the elements of the Indy franchise that real-life archaeologists take issue with are exactly the elements that make those movies exciting to watch in the first place! No-one goes to the cinema to witness a dry academic lecture or to see their hero reading books.
This is true of most fiction. If Law & Order was realistic, most episodes could fit into 1/2 hour because a large majority of criminal cases end in plea bargain, not trial. If James Cameron’s Titanic had been realistic, Jack could never have ridden the bow because it was fenced off, a no-go zone for passengers, thus losing one of the film’s most iconic scenes.

In my experience, this is the case across much of Europe (museums closed on Mondays), as I have experienced the same thing in Spain.

This site has opening hours for a lot of the other monuments / sites in Athens.
