	Circumcision of Male Infants: Ethical and Legal Guidance for Doctors
		The BMA would therefore have concerns at any prohibition of the use of techniques which, in certain circumstances are considered by the profession at large to be clinically appropriate.
		The BMA does not have a policy on the ethics of male circumcision for religious or cultural purposes but issues this guidance in response to doctors for all relevant factors to be taken into account.
		The BMA strongly recommends that either the written consent of BOTH parents, or of the person with parental responsibility be obtained for circumcision.

	British Medical Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was established by the amalgamation of several regional medical associations, of which the original was probably the one from Worcester, and dates from around 1860.
		The BMA Council is the highest political body within the BMA and nominally runs the organisation’s policy wing in accordance with ARM decisions (although each craft committee retains significant independent authority).
		The BMA is not responsible for registering doctors for practice in the United Kingdom; this role is carried out by the General Medical Council.

	Ethics of Circumcision - BMA, 2003
		As a general rule, however, the BMA believes that parents should be entitled to make choices about how best to promote their children's interests, and it is for society to decide what limits should be imposed on parental choices.
		The BMA is concerned that they may not have easy access to up-to-date information, however, and has called on appropriate bodies such as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons to produce an information leaflet.
		The BMA is generally very supportive of allowing parents to make choices on behalf of their children, and believes that neither society nor doctors should interfere unjustifiably in the relationship between parents and their children.

	One in three medical students has been bullied, BMA survey shows
		Thirty-five per cent of medical students who responded to the BMA Medical Students Committee welfare survey had experienced some form of bullying while at university or on a hospital placement.
		Most did not know whether their medical school had a policy on whistle-blowing, and the majority did not think there was adequate support for whistle-blowers.
		The survey also highlights the problems encountered by mature students, who often have large debts from their first degree and are balancing the demands of a medical degree with other commitments, such as looking after a family.

	Fighting fit - 2 October 2006
		The British Medical Association (BMA), which looks after the interests of more than 139,000 doctors and medical students, has more on its plate than most and its legal team gets involved at all levels of the organisation's activities.
		Although all that the BMA does is on behalf of its members, Waters and the legal team do not accept matters directly from members.
		Chaudhary is claiming that the BMA refused his requests for assistance in connection with allegations of racial discrimination, which he was making against other medical authorities, on grounds of race.

	RTE News - British Medical Association criticises Straw over Pinochet results
		The British Medical Association has criticised the Home Secretary, Jack Straw, for keeping secret the results of medical tests on the former Chilean dictator, General Augusto Pinochet.
		Mr Straw has said the tests show the general is unfit to be sent for trial in a Spanish court, but he insists that the details are confidential.
		The chairman of the medical association's ethics committee, Michael Wilks, said the doctors involved had been acting in a forensic capacity, and their opinions should be disclosed and tested in court.

		The BMA has been edging closer to approving direct and indirect euthanasia for years and is already one of the world's most abortion-supportive national medical associations.
		In recent years, the British courts have given doctors greater powers over the lives of disabled patients, often despite the wishes of parents who fought for and lost the right to have their disabled infants kept alive.
		The BMA's motion stated that doctors believed that the question of "the criminal law in relation to assisted dying is primarily a matter for society and for Parliament," but added they would press for "robust safeguards."

	Christopher P Price: Letter to British Medical Association
		Perhaps the misapprehension here is founded in part on the considerable misapprehensions as to the harm of all circumcisions, the legal considerations and the lack of any medical benefits of non-therapeutic circumcisions which render the remainder of the Guidance so inept.
		Given that, at the least, it is incontestable from the medical studies that circumcision is “actively against [the child's] interests” then the two possible defences he gives for non-therapeutic circumcisions fail; note also his comments on circumcisions for cultural reasons.
		For any doctor to perform surgery on a person which carries no medical benefit and which is clearly harmful to that person is a grave breach of medical ethics (as well as the law).

	CNN.com - Doctors' group: Phone use in car risky business - May 24, 2001
		The report by the British Medical Association warns that cellular phone conversation while driving, even hands-free, substantially increases the risk of an accident.
		It's estimated that there are 700 million mobile phone users around the world, and the BMA says there could be as many as 1 billion users by the end of next year.
		The bottom line from the BMA is that the less a cell phone is used, the less potential risk.

	NOCIRC - BMA Circumcision of Male Infants
		This issue is addressed by a separate BMA Guidance.
		Therefore, to circumcised for therapeutic reasons where medical research has shown other techniques to be at least as effective and less invasive would be unethical and inappropriate.
		Doctors must recognise that the appearance of the foreskin in infancy does not act as a guide to whether it will became retractile in later life.

	British Medical Association clarifies abortion guidance
		As far as the BMA is aware it is extremely unlikely that a foetus would survive a termination of pregnancy procedure.
		However in the very rare event that a foetus does survive, the BMA's written guidance already states that from birth, all people have the right to expect care and treatment appropriate to their needs.
		We are not sure if the proposers of this motion are aware of the current BMA guidance or perhaps they have identified another aspect.

	Catholic World News : British medical association rejects lower abortion term-limits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Manchester, Jun. 30, 2005 (CWNews.com) - The British Medical Association (BMA) has declined to endorse a proposal that legal abortion should be available only through the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, replacing the current limit of 24 weeks.
		The BMA had not discussed the term limits on legal abortion since 1989, and proponents of the change pointed out that medical science has made it possible to save the lives of babies born after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
		Most abortions occur during the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, but the British Pregnancy Service-- the country's leading abortion provider-- claimed that many women would travel abroad to procure abortions if the legal limit were changed.
