In a particular case an application was made for the loss of expectation of life, and it was said that the injured man would have received a pension in a short time, that that pension would have been so much, and that his ordinary expectation of life would be so many years, and that what he was awarded should be substantial. \"You must not take that into account,\" said the wrongdoer. \"If this man was going to get a pension. if he is' entitled to a pension, that has to be taken into account.\" The Minister of Pensions could deduct from his pension the amount he was likely to recover, and the wrongdoer would argue that he was entitled to reduce the damages by the amount that the Minister of Pensions was likely to allow him. and when one was set off against the other he would not pay anything. It was a curious thing that in such cases due allowance had to be made, and the Court of Appeal had to try to assess the amount which the Minister of Pensions would probably deduct from the amount he was going to pay, bearing in mind the fact that the injured man had a right of action against the wrongdoer for a substantial amount. How could that be assessed? One -would say it was impossible, and logically it was impossible, but the court had to face it and assess to the best of its ability the damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. The PRESIDENT said that the discussion had been worthy of the excellent papers. He was asked whether a post mortem was held in the case of his friend. No post mortem was held, but that did not alter his opinion.","PeriodicalId":88741,"journal":{"name":"The Medico-legal and criminological review","volume":"14 1-2","pages":"27-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1946-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/030216374601400103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28839450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuality and identity. 个性和身份。

This realization may come, at times, with much suddenness. The form of the actual problem may vary by reason of the precise mode in which it came into being; but in general it takes some such form as the presentation of the insoluble question: \"If I had not been Mother's little boy, but the little boy of the lady next door, should I have still been I?\" This is the dawn of the psychic realization of individuality, and most commonly, after the first childish questionings have failed to find satisfaction, most of us are content with the realization and probe no further into the problem. Only to some tortured introspective souls, like Amiel, does the problem of individuality become a life-long obsession. In his intimate journal he wrote on the same day (October 26, 1875): \"Every individuality is an insoluble enigma and no beginning explains it\" and \"Perhaps there are no true individuals and, if so, no beginning but one only, the' primordial impulse, the first movement.\" But despite the bewilderment created by the philosopher's speculations it may be worth while to make some little inquiry into the origin and cause of our individuality and to attempt to see what bearing this abstract problem may have upon the question of identity and the practical business of attempting to establish the identification of an individual. We are all the products of a single living fertilized cell. As that cell multiplies itself and unfolds in the process of development it is at once apparent that progress is made by stages that are arrived at in a very definite sequence. As Von Baer said: \"The general characters of the big group to which the embryo belongs appear in development earlier than the special characters.\" Suppose we took the single fertilized cell that is one day destined to develop into a pig and assume that, while we are quite ignorant as to its parentage, we are possessed of a general knowledge of the characters of animal types. We should first be able to appreciate that the little mass of developing cells was on the road towards the making of a Vertebrate; next, as development proceeded, we should feel justified in concluding that it was a vertebrate belonging to the subgrade Amniota. After another short interval, we would be certain that we were witnessing a Mammal in the making; then that this mammal was one belonging to the order Artiodactyla. Next we should recognize it as belonging to the family of the Suidae, and soon we could identify it as belonging to the genus Sus within that family. Before development were done with it would be apparent that, within the genus Sus, we were dealing with an example of the definite species Sus sera/a. Last, but perhaps our intimate knowledge of pigs might not go so far as this, we might realize that this thing was a very definitely individualized pig among the generality of pigs-eve","PeriodicalId":88741,"journal":{"name":"The Medico-legal and criminological review","volume":"13 4","pages":"195-201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1945-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/030216374501300403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29400266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes .the results of laboratory examination favoured the defence and on quite a number of occasions in which the police were potential prosecutors, when informed {)f the laboratory findings, they dropped the case and no prosecution took place. The work of the laboratory was as impartial as possible. In cases of drunkenness in charge of a motor vehicle-in some cases associated with serious accidents-the occasions on which blood-alcohol tests were asked for were comparatively few; in fact, it seemed to be the exception rather than the rule. Again. the occasions on which the blood of the victim in a serious or fatal motor accident was submitted for examination were comparatively rare. Yet, in one case submitted this test completely exonerated the motorist in a fatal accident. The smell of alcoholic liquor was noted at the post-mortem on the deceased and the blood was examined for alcohol. The result showed high alcohol content (equivalent to 8 oz. of neat whisky). Police enquiry revealed that the deceased had consumed much whisky at a nearby club, had left in a state of intoxication, tried to mount his bicycle and wobbled into the path of an approaching motor car. There was no prosecution of the motorist. Experience with the American forces would indicate that the Americans make far greater use of blood-alcohol tests-not only in accident cases, but also to detect loitering. For example, a military driver arriving late at his destination gave mechanical defect and/or repairs as the cause. If this was doubted, a sample of his blood might be taken. If alcohol was found, it was considered as evidence of illicit \"calls\" on the journey-such calls being considered the real explanation of the delay. The PRESIDENT proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Dr. Firth, which was accorded by applause.","PeriodicalId":88741,"journal":{"name":"The Medico-legal and criminological review","volume":"13 ","pages":"133-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1945-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/030216374501300303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29423642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
