There is no question that the normalising of anything and the implications of that in our society have been consistently raised by our committee. However, non-medical people know of The Lancetand would hold it in esteem. Citing an article in this context with that title can be misleading. While I take Professor O'Neill's point regarding normative conformity, I had the benefit of sitting back while others asked questions and had the opportunity to read the article. While it is informative, it may be misleading for others who have not read the article. I wish to confirm that for my colleagues on the committee.
