For anyone interested, I have shared the informed consent forms produced for my EU-funded MSCA action PROTEST-AIRT. These forms could be useful for anyone studying ethics and data protection in research, or for those designing their own research projects.

SPOILER: Additionally, in 13 episodes, there is no reference about how this troubled teenager collected his armament. It's a narrative centered in understanding his psyche into (potentially) 'becoming a mass-murderer', but

Exactly the point. The law is constructed. The idea of private property is constructed. The idea of sovereignty. These notions have value now, and are considered 'sacred', but they could/should be transformed or updated at will (for example, when they are obsolete).

One pillar of scientific research is consent. Did these human consent to become part of “the collection”? Did any living relative give authorization? If you don’t have any of that, whatever you are doing is hurtful and I wouldn’t call it “science”.

No. I said historical processes such as migration or climate emergency make current laws about sovereignty obsolete. Therefore, we need new laws that, for example, decriminalise 'illegal' migration driven by humanitarian crises. Don’t put words in my mouth.

Not that Dutch media is going to ask me, but I didn’t see anyone insulting KLM or Schiphol workers during the demonstration last Saturday.
What I did witness were airport workers being moved by the chanting, airport bus drivers honking in support, and lots of tourists filming…

If I can add something here, plenty of dangerous jobs are legal, even when they heavily harm the body (like mining). Other harms and deaths are made invisible, like the many workers who died building the new airport of Istanbul or the many suicides of cruise crews.

Costa Rica debe imponer visado a los y las ciudadanos de México para visitar el país. Es evidente que esta política de “deportación” constituye un visado “no oficial” contra cierta clase de costarricenses (aquellos que no tienen visa estadounidense).

All recent global media "the climate crisis has arrived" stories are a form of propaganda since you have been ignoring the impacts on the South for decades. This is what happens when media is disproportionately owned by and written by people in the privileged North.

Excepto que la investigación científica ha demostrado que esto NO es siempre así. Las autoridades políticas tienden a sobreestimar los impactos positivos del turismo y a enfatizar la creación de empleos, sin discutir si estos empleos son precarios o temporales.

I wouldn’t pay attention to this. Accusations of whataboutism could be read as a form of censorship and suppression of discourse. These accusations aim at establishing one single narrative, instead of a multiplicity of points of view.

In Costa Rica, inmates vote in jail. We have polling stations there. From management of prisons to laws, all decisions made by the government impact the lives of those incarcerated. Insane abuse of power to deny them their rights.

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.
Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.
We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

African nations should sell them this natural gas triple priced. Not even a year ago Europe refused to share the vaccines. Disgusting.

There is a long debate on harm and dead people, you should check it out starting with everything written by Joel Feinberg. In any case, dead human subjects have rights and that is why we don't simply harvest organs from them, or rob modern cemeteries for 'scientific' purposes.
