	Law Commission Report (1967): EXCERPT
		Any attempt to define "grievous bodily harm" as, for example, "harm likely to endanger life," or further to require that the accused should know that the harm inflicted is likely to endanger life, would make the judge's direction more difficult for the jury to follow.
		It may precisely for this reason be desirable to eliminate altogether the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm as an alternative to the intent to kill in murder.
		Whether bodily harm is - likely to endanger life depends not only on the seriousness of the injury inflicted but also on all the surrounding circumstances for example, whether or not it is inflicted in a place readily accessible to medical aid.

	Bodily Harm:Atwood, Margaret Eleanor:0385491077:eCampus.com

		Rennie flies to the Caribbean to recuperate, and on the tiny island of St. Antoine, she is confronted by a world where her rules for survival no longer apply.
		By turns comic, satiric, relentless, and terrifying, Margaret Atwood's Bodily Harm is ultimately an exploration of the lust for power, both sexual and political, and the need for compassion that goes beyond what we ordinarily mean by love.

		Actually, Bodily Harm is no different from previous Atwood novels, in that it follows a character trying to break free from her past and grasp onto a brighter and more promising future.
		Bodily Harm is very effective on this level, in that it explore's Rennie's own personal journey as a survivor of Breast Cancer.
		And the socio-political viewpoints of "Bodily Harm" are interesting and important to consider, as the novel's ending is so severely needed to help slap Rennie and even Atwood's readers awake from their deeply ingrained pop-culture daze.

	Transblawg: Translating terms for bodily harm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As with so many legal terms, there seem to be two schools of thought on translating these, with unfamiliar or familiar expressions flagging similarities or differences between the German law concepts and their counterparts in English-speaking jurisdictions.
		In instances like this, I’ve come round to favouring the familiar English terms where the context is relatively far removed from the nitty-gritty of German criminal law — as with my current example, which is a passing mention of recent crime trends in an article targeting the general public.
		I think bodily harm and bodily injury, and also physical injury, are all terms widely used in criminal law (personal injury being a civil-law term).
