 Bibliotheca Archives Archaeological Guidance Note 5
Military sites around North Somerset are of great historic and archaeological importance for the insights they give into the social attitudes and conditions of the time of their construction, and the military technologies and other aspects that are not recoverable in any way but through archaeological study.
Such relatively modern military bases as RAF Locking, when abandoned in the near future, will need to be considered for their archaeological potential when decisions about appropriate development for the sites is undertaken.
While the process of archaeological assessment of military structures and deposits does not constitute a separate discipline to that of so-called conventional archaeology, the interpretation of these structures requires some degree of expertise which might not always exist in ordinary archaeological units: this has implications for the setting of project briefs for archaeological assessment.

That is, though Doctor K seems like a certifiable loon, it seemed logical to me that people nearing the end of their lives should be able to choose to kill themselves.
The screed is against the many doctors and hospitals that dole them out in stingy, inadequate doses and on inflexible timetables that leave patients shivering in fear.
Left to their own devices, with a handy pump that allows them to deliver their own dose of morphine, Peck says patients often use less of the drugs than a doctor would supply; even if they use more, the fear of addiction is insufficient cause to deny them relief from pain.
