A growing number of patients who request medical assistance in dying are asking to donate their organs for transplant, says an international review that found that Canada is performing the most organ transplants from MAID patients among the four countries studied that offer this practice.

The report is the first-ever review of the growing use of this new practice around the world. The review was conducted in 2021 and the results were formally published in December 2022.

“We saw everyone is working in different directions. And then we said ‘OK, well, let's start an international (discussion) of all the countries involved,’” said Dr. Johannes Mulder, a physician and MAID provider in Zwolle, Netherlands, in an interview with CTV News.

Data collected for the paper shows that in Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, combined, 286 assisted-death recipients provide lifesaving organs for transplant to 837 patients in the years up to and including 2021.

Doctors in Canada, where medical assistance in dying (MAID) was decriminalized in 2016, performed almost half of the world’s organ transplants after MAID for that period (136), according to the publication.

Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information confirms this new source of transplant organs accounted accounts for six per cent of all transplants from deceased donors in Canada in 2021. Some transplants, like those for kidneys and livers, can be done with patients who are alive.

“I was rather proud that Canada has done so well in terms of organ donation by MAID patients,” said Arthur Schafer, director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba, in an interview with CTV News.

With more than 4,000 Canadians waiting for organ transplants, some of whom are dying, he says Canada’s numbers show a strong move to turn death into a win-win.

“So I say, 'Good on us.' It’s a wonderful opportunity for someone facing death to make something significant out of the end of their life,” said Schafer.

PATIENT-DRIVEN TREND

The international review on this new practice has been overwhelmingly driven by patients who are suffering from irreversible degenerative diseases, like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s.

“If this body has deserted me, I could do something good,” is how Mulder says patients frame their decision.

Canadian ALS patient Sharron Demchuk donated her kidneys and lungs after her medically assisted death in September of 2021. Her family says she herself pushed her doctors to consider a way she could help people after she died, becoming the first in New Brunswick to do so.

“She kept doing follow-ups, kept pushing and even though she wasn’t able to speak, she would make notes for my dad. ‘Here’s what I want you to ask them. Here’s what I want you to say,’” her daughter, Darlene Demchuk, told CTV News last year.

One of the goals of the international report, says Mulder, was to share information openly on how countries are managing this controversial and evolving new practice, including the tricky ethical and logistical issues of consent from vulnerable patients.

“What should you do, or what should what shouldn't you do? And how to keep the whole project completely voluntary,” he said of some of the concerns, noting that patients should never be pressured to choose MAID to increase the availability of donor organs.

That is a worry shared by Trudo Lemmens, a professor in health law and policy at the University of Toronto.

He points to statistics showing more than 35 per cent of Canadians who died by MAID in 2021 felt they were "a burden on family, friends or caregivers” according to a Health Canada report.

“I am concerned that people who struggle with a lack of self-esteem and self-worth may be pushed to see this as an opportunity to mean something,” said Lemmens in an email comment to CTV News.

With other countries like Australia eyeing medical assistance in dying along with organ donations, Mulder says public trust in this new medical practice must be developed and maintained.

“That’s why guidelines are necessary and should also be strict,”’ the doctor said.

Canada performing more organ transplants from MAID donors than any country in the world

WHY CANADA LEADS THE WORLD IN ORGAN TRANSPLANTS AFTER MAID

“Our guidance is Canadian made and (it’s) working well,” said Dr. Sam Shemie, an intensive care unit doctor in Montreal and medical adviser to Canadian Blood Services, which helped created the roadmap guiding health workers in Canada in 2019.

Like other countries, Canada requires the decision to be voluntary. MAID donors give consent while conscious and competent. The guidance says the choice and approval for MAID must come first. The decision to become an organ donor can only be formalized by a separate transplant team.  

“The first thing is, ‘Have you been accepted?’ And once you've been accepted, that's your decision to pursue.

“We would never say, ‘Hey, do you want MAID?’ and, ‘Hey, do you want to be an organ donor?’ It's not ethical,” Shemie told CTV News, adding that patients also have the right to change their minds at any point.

And Canada has other measures that may account for its higher number of MAID donors.

In other countries, patients themselves must first bring up the idea that they wish to donate. But Quebec and Ontario moved to telling patients earlier.

“In our province, in fact, if the law says if somebody is going to die, you should offer them organ donation organ and tissue donation, and we should apply that to MAID patients as well,” said Shemie of Quebec's policy.

The other difference in Canada is based on the kinds of patients receiving MAID. In the Netherlands or Belgium, there is a larger proportion of patients with end-stage cancer who choose euthanasia. Those with cancer cannot donate because of the risks to the organ recipients.

In Canada, statistics show 65 per cent of patients seeking MAID have cancer.  

“And so I think that's one of the reasons why we are ahead of the game, is because more patients who seek MAID in Canada are eligible to donate because they have diseases like ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or multiple sclerosis,” said Shemie.

ORGANS FUNCTION WELL

The international review also shows that despite concerns that the cocktail of medications used for assisted death might harm organs, studies from around the world and here in Canada show they are undamaged and work very well after transplantation.

One Ontario study of kidney recipients found that eight of nine kidneys from MAID donors began working normally almost immediately after transplant, with patients avoiding the need for even temporary dialysis.

“Some of the functions of these organs were almost as good as living donor organs,” said Dr. Patrick Luke, the study author and co-director of the Multi-organ Transplant Program at the London Health Sciences.

“As far as our transplant patients, so far, it's all been very positive,” he told CTV News.

Studies of lung transplants have shown similar success, with scientists now investigating the potential use of other tissue, including islet cells to treat people with severe diabetes.

HOME TO HOSPITAL

Canada is also at the forefront of another emerging trend.

Until recently, only those who agreed to have a medically assisted death in hospital could donate their organs. It was easier and safer for surgeons for retrieval and transplantation.

According to Health Canada data, 44.2% of MAID provisions in Canada took place at home.

The report shows there are now eight documented cases in the world where providers offered assisted death in the patient’s home. Five of these were in Canada.

The MAID recipient is given the medications in their home, and then transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital to have the procedure completed and organs harvested.

Dr. Shemie described the case of a patient in Ontario, saying that "with a lot of help from paramedics in the fire department …we were able to facilitate that.”

But there is variation among countries on how to do this and what medications to use.

In fact, Canada is currently updating its protocol, now submitted for publication to the Canadian Medical Association Journal, and Dr. Shemie says it will be shared with other countries considering expanding assisted dying and organ transplantation.

It’s the kind of openness and transparency Dr. Mulder envisions.

“These are all reasons why we wanted to have this paper out now, and hope every hospital and every jurisdiction take this as a starting point to write ethically sound protocols,” he said.

~~~ ALBERTON ~~~

THE Voortrekkers Johan Georg (Org) Meyer and Hester Catharina Elizabeth (néé Mulder) came from Prince Albert with two wagons and made their way to the Transvaal in the early 1840’s.

Org sourced land and selected three farms, namely Klipriviersberg, Elandsfontein and Swartkoppies. The couple chose to live next to the Natal Spruit (today the open land on the corner of Hendrik Potgieter Street and Tenth Avenue, Alberton North).

Org asked another Voortrekker, Jacob Smith, to keep an eye on the farms, while he went back to Prince Albert to sell his farm there. He could not sell the land in the Cape and then decided to abandon it.

On his return, he decided to keep Smit as a neighbor and ceded Klipriviersberg to him.

When their son Johannes Petrus (Jan) Meyer was 13 years old in 1856, the family went back to visit their relatives in the Prince Albert district. During the return journey, Org died and was buried in Colesberg. The responsibility was on Jan’s shoulders to see the family safely back to the Transvaal. It rained heavily and they had to build rafts to pass over the rivers. The cattle had to be protected at night from wild animals and there was no dry wood for them to make fires.

In 1864 Jan Meyer married Christina Salomina Meyer (no relation) and set up house on land next to the Natalspruit, in the area now occupied by Alberton City.

Christina died on 31 July 1870 after the birth of their fourth daughter. She was buried in the farm cemetery that once lay next to the future Voortrekker Road. He re-purchased the farm Klipriviersberg for 500 pounds from Jacob’s Smit’s estate. In 1872 he married the widow Stephina Petronella Botha, born Strydom. The couple moved to Klipriviersberg.

The current farmhouse was erected in 1891 by the builder Kirton, who also built the Dutch Reformed Church in Heidelberg.

Jan Meyer’s widowed mother had remarried Abraham Viljoen. After Viljoen’s death in 1894, the farm Elandsfontein was divided between the Meyer children. Jan Meyer bought the areas now known as New Redruth, Randhart and Raceview. His brother Johan Georg (Org junior) bought the areas now known as Florentia and Verwoerd Park. The part of the farm that later became Alberton North, was given to the five Meyer daughters.

After the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902, the Alberton Estate Syndicate of Germiston approached the Meyer family to buy land to establish a town, close enough to Johannesburg for work but outside the city. The land was sold for 20 000 pounds in 1904 and the new town named Alberton, after General Hennie Alberts, one of the members of the Syndicate.

DID YOU KNOW?

Although Alberton was established in 1904, it was only proclaimed a township in 1909.

Alberton boasts the only family cemetery within a traffic circle in South Africa.

A boy by the name of Johannes Petrus Meyer bought 11 hectares of his father’s farm Elandsfontein at the age of 13. He built his house next to the Alberton spruit. When his wife died in, he decided to start a general store and built his farmhouse residence in 1890, which was miraculously left unharmed during the Anglo Boer War, and still stands today. Jan's brother took over the farm after his death. General Hennie Alberts purchased a portion of the farm Elandsfontein, and he decided on the name of Alberton.

The school Jan Meyer was named after the original farm owner. The affluent suburb of Meyersdal also refers to the family whose first farmhouse still stands today. Hennie Alberts Avenue in the suburb of Brackenhurst as well as the primary school Generaal Alberts is named after the town founder. The first official post office was opened in 1926. Street names in the Alberton North suburb were also renamed after Voortrekker heroes in 1938 to coincide with the 100 year commemoration of the Great Trek.

Development sprawled out into adjacent areas over the years, and today Alberton consists of 18 suburbs. Alberante, Verwoerdpark, Albertsdal, Alrode, Brackendowns, Brackenhurst, New Redruth, Eden Park, Florentia, Mayberry Park, Albermarle, Meyersdal, Alberton North, Palm Ridge, General Alberts Park, Randhart, Raceview, South Crest, Thokoza.

Alrode is Alberton's industrial suburb. Alrode, which is Alberton's industrial suburb, was established in 1943. One of the most notable industries to be established in the town during this time was CJ Fuchs (Pty) Ltd. Venturing into the production of domestic electrical appliances under licence from the American company Westing House Electric International, the business was relocated from central Johnnesburg to a newly-built, modern factory in Alrode in 1948. Until the mid-seventies, CJ Fuchs (Pty) Ltd would continue to grow into a multi-million Rand operation, employing thousands of people in several subsidiary companies within the group. After Carl Fuchs' death in April 1976, the company was sold to the then Barlow Rand. In 1973, he was also the first to be admitted as a Freeman of the Town of Alberton.

The construction of the Alberton Boulevard was a major development started in the late 1980s with the aim of converting a section of Voortrekker Road that runs past the Alberton City Shopping Mall into a pedestrian-friendly zone.

There are many well-established sports facilities and clubs for tennis, rugby, road running, boxing, wrestling, cricket, jukskei, netball, hockey, soccer, bowls, korfball and ring tennis in Alberton.

It is also home to the Reading Country Club and Golf Course.

Alberton was also home to the now defunct New Market Race Course, which is now a shopping mall.

Notable residents (past and present)

• Japie Mulder (Springbok rugby player)

• Arnold Vosloo (Actor)

• Carl Niehaus (Politician)

• Andrew Hall (Protea cricketer)

• André Pretorius (Springbok rugby player)

• Bernadette Coston (Protea and Olympian hockey player )

• Malcolm Marx (Springbok rugby player)

Alberton borders on the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, located on Peggy Vera Road, Kibler Park, Gauteng. This reserve is home to many wild animals, including zebra, red hartebeest, porcupines, black wildebeest, otters, blesbok, springbok, duiker and 170 bird species.

There are also Iron Age settlements dating from about 1500 and the ruins of a house built in 1850 by voortrekkerSarel Marais.

Quante proteine ci servono al giorno e perché

Davvero ci servono tutte queste proteine? Dietro le scritte sulle confezioni dei prodotti alimentari venduti come proteici, dai minestroni all'acqua, c'è moltissimo marketing e pochissima scienza. Yogurt ad alto contenuto proteico, succo di frutta con proteine, passato di verdura proteico, cracker con aggiunta di proteine, gelato e dessert proteici, merendine e cereali per la colazione con proteine e perfino acqua proteica. Negli ultimi anni è aumentata enormemente la quantità di prodotti alimentari promossi per il loro contenuto di proteine, spesso con scritte molto evidenti sulle confezioni. Il messaggio che provano a trasmettere è che gli alimenti con maggiori quantità di proteine facciano bene alla salute, anche se in realtà con una normale dieta equilibrata si assumono già le giuste dosi di questi nutrienti. È una comunicazione prettamente di marketing che nel tempo è riuscita a cogliere e ad accrescere un certo interesse verso le proteine, magari contrapposte ad altri nutrienti meno apprezzati come i carboidrati e i grassi. Successo commerciale Il mercato dei prodotti proteici è del resto molto fiorente negli Stati Uniti e in altri paesi occidentali, compresa l’Italia. Un’indagine di mercato ha rilevato che tra giugno 2022 e giugno 2023 le indicazioni a scopo promozionale sulla presenza delle proteine erano stampate sulle confezioni di oltre 3.200 prodotti alimentari. Nello stesso periodo le vendite erano aumentate del 4,5 per cento rispetto all’anno precedente, con un valore di mercato intorno agli 1,7 miliardi di euro. La domanda era quindi in aumento, nonostante i problemi legati all’inflazione e il fatto che in media i prodotti proteici – o che si vendono come tali – siano più costosi e talvolta senza che ce ne sia veramente motivo. A causa di alcune diete di moda, della pubblicità e delle indicazioni promozionali praticamente su qualsiasi prodotto, le proteine sono sempre più viste come qualcosa di sano o per lo meno innocuo rispetto ad altre sostanze nutrienti. C’è in molte persone la percezione che possano essere consumate senza problemi e soprattutto che possano sostituire altri nutrienti, oppure che siano fondamentali per avere più energie o aumentare la massa muscolare, soprattutto tra chi fa sport. Mediche ed esperti osservano con preoccupazione questa nuova mania per il proteico, che potrebbe avere conseguenze sulla salute delle persone. Le proteine, da capo Le proteine furono descritte scientificamente in modo esteso per la prima volta alla fine degli anni Trenta dell’Ottocento dal chimico olandese Gerardus Johannes Mulder e da un suo collega, il chimico svedese Jöns Jacob Berzelius, che decise di chiamarle così dalla parola greca πρώτειος (proteios), che significa “primario”. E in effetti le proteine hanno un ruolo fondamentale nella nostra esistenza e in generale in quella degli esseri viventi. Fanno praticamente qualsiasi cosa: costituiscono l’impalcatura degli organismi, rendono possibile l’attività cellulare e l’esistenza degli organi e sono anche in buona parte responsabili delle loro funzioni. Dopo l’acqua, le proteine sono i costituenti biologici più abbondanti negli organismi e sono presenti in tutte le cellule, tanto da formarne il 50 per cento del peso (una volta tolta l’acqua). Ne esiste una sterminata varietà e ciascun tipo ha una funzione particolare in base alla sua forma: è sufficiente una minima differenza nel modo in cui è disposta nello spazio perché la sua funzione cambi enormemente.

La colazione "proteica" di Rocky a base di uova crude dal film Rocky del 1976 (United Artists) Le proteine sono formate da catene di amminoacidi, una grande famiglia di molecole organiche quindi comprendenti carbonio, azoto, ossigeno e idrogeno. Le catene si avvolgono su loro stesse in modi diversi e insieme danno una forma e di conseguenza una funzione alle proteine. Esistono centinaia di amminoacidi che combinati tra loro formano varie proteine, ma quelli necessari per far funzionare il corpo umano sono una ventina e si dividono tra: - non essenziali, che il nostro organismo può produrre da sé; - condizionatamente essenziali, che un organismo poco in salute ha più difficoltà a produrre; - essenziali, che non possono essere prodotti dall’organismo e devono essere quindi assunti con l’alimentazione. Gli amminoacidi essenziali sono nove e sono presenti in moltissimi alimenti, ma naturalmente nella forma più complessa di proteine. Con il passaggio nello stomaco e nella sezione subito successiva, il duodeno, i succhi gastrici e gli enzimi provvedono a scomporre le proteine che abbiamo assunto mangiando qualcosa e a ridurle nei loro componenti elementari, gli amminoacidi appunto. Alcuni di questi rimangono in zona per rendere possibile la produzione di nuovi enzimi che procederanno alla scomposizione delle proteine in arrivo col prossimo pasto, altri invece finiranno attraverso l’intestino nella circolazione sanguigna e saranno trasportati in altre parti dell’organismo. Gli amminoacidi servono infatti alle cellule per produrre nuove proteine. Le istruzioni per farlo sono contenute nel DNA: a seconda dell’ordine e degli amminoacidi, saranno prodotte proteine specifiche necessarie per assolvere ad alcune funzioni per esempio per il trasporto dell’ossigeno attraverso il sangue, oppure per svolgere compiti strutturali e di sostegno come nel caso della produzione del collagene. Fai-da-te Il collagene è la proteina più abbondante nei mammiferi e, oltre a costituire circa il 6 per cento del peso corporeo di una persona, è il classico esempio di come si faccia spesso fatica a capire come funzionano le proteine. Molti integratori a base di collagene fanno intendere, in modo più o meno esplicito, che assumendoli si possa aumentare le quantità di questa proteina che fa per esempio da impalcatura della pelle, migliorandone l’aspetto e riducendo gli effetti del suo invecchiamento come rughe e segni di espressione. Mangiare un “integratore al collagene” (ammesso che contenga veramente collagene) implica che la sostanza venga scomposta negli amminoacidi, che saranno poi utilizzati dall’organismo per produrre le proteine di cui ha bisogno e non necessariamente più collagene del solito. Gli amminoacidi che costituiscono il collagene sono inoltre presenti in molti alimenti e di conseguenza con una normale dieta si assumono già le proteine necessarie per produrlo. Senza contare che le fiale e le bottigliette di questi integratori contengono millilitri e talvolta centilitri di prodotto, un apporto limitato se consideriamo che una persona di 75 chilogrammi ha circa 4,5 chilogrammi di collagene. Integratori e quantità La stessa cosa vale per gli integratori che promettono di favorire la crescita muscolare perché contengono specifiche proteine, riconducibili in qualche modo a quelle che costituiscono i nostri muscoli e che li fanno funzionare. Negli anni sono state prodotte molte ricerche sull’effetto degli integratori proteici come barrette e polveri, senza però trovare prove convincenti per definire con esattezza gli eventuali benefici portati dalla loro assunzione. Più in generale, una persona in salute che segua una dieta equilibrata (nella maggior parte dei casi si riduce a mangiare un po’ di tutto con moderazione ) non ha necessità di assumere più proteine di quante già ne introduca attraverso l’alimentazione. L’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità (OMS) consiglia di assumere quotidianamente 0,8 grammi di proteine per ogni chilogrammo di peso corporeo. Una persona che pesa 75 chilogrammi dovrebbe quindi assumerne circa 60 grammi al giorno. La quantità può variare in base all’età e ad altri fattori legati per esempio a quanta attività fisica si conduce (l’assunzione in questo caso tende ad aumentare per buona parte dei nutrienti, quindi anche per carboidrati e grassi). Gli effetti di un’assunzione eccessiva di proteine non sono ancora completamente chiari, anche se ci sono indizi per ritenere che non costituisca un particolare pericolo per le persone in salute e che sia più che altro uno spreco. A differenza dei carboidrati e dei grassi, che sotto varie forme vengono accumulati dal nostro organismo per essere utilizzati gradualmente nel tempo, gli amminoacidi in eccesso e che non vengono quindi utilizzati sono smaltiti dall’organismo. Lo smaltimento avviene per lo più attraverso l’attività del fegato e dei reni e per questo alcune ricerche si sono concentrate sul lavoro, molto intenso, che devono effettuare per indagare eventuali effetti per la salute. Per queste ragioni un’assunzione oltre il necessario di proteine è uno spreco, sia dal punto di vista metabolico (cioè di come funziona l’organismo e gestisce le proprie energie) sia economico nel caso in cui si utilizzino prodotti più cari che promuovono il loro alto contenuto in proteine. “Più proteine” Fino a qualche tempo fa l’indicazione sulle confezioni riguardava spesso prodotti specifici per gli sportivi, come barrette e polveri ad alto contenuto proteico, mentre ora le indicazioni sono presenti su moltissimi prodotti di largo consumo come latticini, minestre e legumi. Le aziende che realizzano molti di questi prodotti in realtà non hanno nemmeno cambiato gli ingredienti rispetto a un tempo (cioè quando non mettevano la scritta “più proteine” in bella vista sulle confezioni), ma hanno semplicemente scelto di dare maggiore evidenza alla presenza di proteine nei loro prodotti. Per accorgersene è spesso sufficiente consultare la tabella nutrizionale, che indica i valori per 100 grammi di prodotto, e confrontarla con quella di prodotti analoghi che non riportano indicazioni promozionali sulle proteine: quasi sempre la percentuale di proteine è la medesima. Come si nota osservando gli scaffali nei supermercati, negli ultimi anni c’è stato inoltre un certo passaggio dalle indicazioni sulla presenza di proteine in prodotti facilmente associabili a questi nutrienti, come quelli a base di carne, ad altri come appunto i legumi e i derivati del latte. Intorno al consumo di carne inizia a esserci una maggiore sensibilità, sia per questioni di salute sia legate all’impatto ambientale della sua produzione, di conseguenza i produttori hanno preferito spostare l’attenzione verso prodotti percepiti come meno controversi. Nel farlo hanno però quasi sempre scelto di mettere in evidenza il concetto di “proteine in più” rispetto a quello della possibilità di alimentarsi in modo diverso, riducendo o eliminando del tutto il consumo di carne. I nove amminoacidi essenziali sono disponibili in quantità sufficienti nelle proteine derivate dagli animali, come carne di vario tipo, latticini e uova. La soia, molto utilizzata nelle preparazioni vegetariane e vegane, contiene tutti questi amminoacidi, mentre molti altri alimenti vegetali ne contengono alcuni in alte quantità e altri in basse dosi a seconda dei casi. Il loro consumo in combinata permette di solito di ottenere tutti gli amminoacidi necessari, anche se per alcuni vegetali è necessario un consumo lievemente più alto rispetto a quello dei prodotti derivanti in qualche modo dagli animali. Un pacco di edamame (i fagioli acerbi della soia) che mette in bella evidenza la scritta “proteine” sta comunque promuovendo qualcosa di ovvio e naturale, difficilmente un tipo di edamame più proteico di quello dei concorrenti. Un più alto consumo di proteine, in alcuni casi molto al di sopra delle linee guida, può rendersi necessario nel caso di particolari problemi di salute. Ci sono per esempio persone che hanno problemi di assorbimento dei nutrienti e devono quindi aumentare alcune dosi per compensare. Il maggior successo dei prodotti che promuovono le proteine viene osservato con attenzione dagli esperti e dalle istituzioni sanitarie, visto che come tutte le mode legate al cibo potrebbe avere conseguenze sul modo in cui si nutre una parte importante della popolazione soprattutto nei paesi più ricchi. In questi anni ci si è anche interrogati sul successo delle proteine dal punto di vista commerciale. L’ipotesi più condivisa è che fossero le candidate ideali per avere successo nella ristretta famiglia dei macronutrienti, che oltre alle proteine comprendono i grassi e i carboidrati, Il nostro organismo non può fare a meno di queste sostanze, ma dopo avere demonizzato prima i grassi e poi i carboidrati, indicati come i principali responsabili del sovrappeso e dell’obesità, le proteine sono diventate il macronutriente ideale da promuovere come qualcosa di sano e desiderabile per sentirsi meglio. E tutto questo nonostante negli alimenti non ci siano solamente le proteine, ma anche i carboidrati e i grassi in proporzioni diverse a seconda dei casi, come è evidente dalle schede nutrizionali sul retro delle confezioni che promettono un mondo bellissimo fatto di proteine.

@medicaldoctordana

So I went and wiki'd this question...because, ya know, you can TRUST *wink, wink* the internet, but pretty much this popped up in the paragraph concerning Mulder's time at Oxford. "After the disappearance of his sister and the divorce of his parents, Mulder attended Oxford University — (PILOT). His tenure there was from 1983 until 1986. — (UNUSUAL SUSPECTS). The ten years between his sister's abduction and his enrollment at Oxford University are largely unaccounted for. Mulder's credentials are also unspecific about precisely which program he participated in while at Oxford.

During his time at Oxford University, Mulder watched a documentary about an insane asylum. In one section of the program, a patient named Creighton Jones claimed to have been abducted by "fire demons." The documentary gave Mulder nightmares. — (OUR TOWN). Mulder was probably affected by the "fire demon" documentary due to his fear of fire and because he imagined what might have happened to Samantha if she had been abducted the same way as Creighton Jones claimed to have been.

On August 10, 1985, Mulder submitted a criminal profile of killer Luther Lee Boggs to the FBI. Later, the document helped send Boggs to the North Carolina gas chamber but he received an executive stay. — (BEYOND THE SEA). The script of "Beyond the Sea" characterizes Mulder's profile on Boggs as having been written for the Violent Crimes Bureau. In "Pilot", Mulder is described as having written a monograph on serial killers and the occult that helped catch a murderer in 1988. Although there is insufficient evidence to establish exactly when Mulder wrote this monograph (prior to 1988), it is likely he wrote it while studying at Oxford, as there is no evidence to suggest he participated in such an intense academic period before the murderer's capture and, in the episode, Mulder's time at Oxford is mentioned directly before and in the same sentence as the description of him having written the monograph. Similarly, Mulder mentions, in "Little Green Men", that he took music appreciation with Professor Ganz, where he learned that the famous composer Johann Sebastian Bach had a genius for polyphony. Like the writing of his monograph, there is not adequate evidence to determine whether Mulder studied music appreciation at college.

Despite his negative reaction to the fire demons video, Mulder graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. — (DREAMLAND II) *degree here* Kinda blurry but this was the best they had to go with the info.

It then goes on to state that he graduated with "honors" from Quantico in 1986...so it's possible that he might've done more research-based training on psychology, but as you suggested, did not do anything clinical...or if it was clinical based, it was purely for observation (most likely of criminals for the profiling part of BSU that he was being ushered into). As to whether or not he had a PhD from Oxford is no longer in dispute...I know a lot of people like to canonize that he obtained his PhD from Oxford, but people also have to understand that when it comes to education in America, it was VASTLY different, in terms of career criteria, than what was described to us "peasants" who were forced to either go on to get a Masters, PhD, in order to get a well-paying career...and that's just to get a guarantee for an interview to get your foot in the door! Back in the 70's, for example, a person could graduate with a bachelor's degree in finance, business, photography, art history, theology, or whichever they chose to pursue...and if in need of a job, they could go and teach for two years. There was a thing known as "TPD - or, Teachers Per Diem," that basically allowed these people to become teachers, for two years, without any educational credits pertaining to their degree - no educational pedagogical knowledge to fall back on, no training to deal with children of varying ages, no prior experience in handling classroom management; they had to self-teach themselves on how to do lesson-planning and curriculum-building - and after the two years, if they wanted to, they could go get certified or move on to a job within the field they had earned their bachelor's for...especially if they were white, heteronormative men. Fox William Mulder, for all intents and purposes (and I'm sure people will debate this as regarding his sexuality, but bear with me here), was a white, heteronormative man whose family members guaranteed him social capital (with his father's connections due to his work at the State Department for the government) and also socio-economic standing (since they were inherently wealthy enough to live on Martha's Vineyard and also have a summer home in Rhode Island...which are all basically very..."waspish" areas in New England). Fox Mulder himself may have never fit the mold, per say, of being a typical "rich boy," given his attitudes towards such things as an adult, but it was also part of his background and childhood experiences and environment. He grew up...very comfortably. Much more so than Scully, who was a child of four, living off her father's navy salary with her three siblings and mother, and basically moving from place to place, and living in the family barracks stationed at the naval bases. Idk if CSM and the Syndicate had any say in what kind of education Scully was able to obtain by the time she was ready to go to college (whether they *nudge, nudge* someone in admissions to guarantee her a place due to her high-test scores), but more or less, she got into college and medical school due to her own merit. Anyway, just my $0.02 this morning to add to this discussion, which has been fascinating to witness as it unfurled.

Re Fox “not a psychologist” Mulder

He has a very valid point when he says this.

While in the pilot he is described as “an Oxford educated psychologist” and utilizes his knowledge of psychology for profiles in the violent crimes unit and on the x-files, he is very much not a psychologist.

At least here in the US, you earn the title of “psychologist” after you have obtained a masters degree or higher (such as a PhD or PsyD) and/or accreditation from a society/state/etc. (PsyD is a doctor of psychology which is different from an MD who practices psychiatry- psychology and psychiatry have differences as well) This is very nuanced and in laymen terms is questionably acceptable to use the term psychologist in reference to Fox Mulder, however, technically he is correct— he is not a psychologist.

The reason is due to credentialism and ethics, anyone can get an associates or bachelors in psychology but “higher education” is a way to gatekeep the profession and to protect the utilization of the knowledge you learn as a psychology student due to the nature of the study. There is higher moral and ethical stakes the more educated you are so only the highest educated may claim the title of psychologist. This concept falls into “scope of practice” and is most applicable in medical and related fields.

(Disregarding moral and societal implication of this act- it’s a complicated issue)

For example, You shouldn’t try hypnosis on someone until you’ve been adequately trained on the technique and consequences (neutral term). These standards are often set by entities such as the American psychological association and is often why you cannot practice psychology without a license- a degree alone is not enough to prove capability and responsibility.

In Dreamland 2 we see his diploma from Oxford University and he has a bachelor’s of science in psychology. He is not trained in clinical psychology, educational psychology, industrial psychology, school psychology, etc. His degree in psychology is one of science so it’s very likely his education had a focus on research and statistics more so than broad theory and principles. (Difference between a Bachelors of Science and a Bachelors of Arts in psychology).

All in all, yes he has a degree in psychology but he is not a psychologist. It’s very likely he would have had the time to get at least a masters before recruitment to the FBI but it is never established he has more than a bachelors from Oxford. I am also not well versed on psychology degrees in the UK and how the education and credits transfer to the US.

com tantos mutantes crianças perambulando pela instituição no dia a dia, os protegidos, a gamsiin não deixa passar em branco aquelas datas festivas que possam trazer um sorriso (ou, nesse caso, um susto) para os rostos deles! assim, todos os anos no dia das bruxas, a academia se transforma num castelo de horrores e proporciona uma noite de diversões para todos!

confira as atrações da noite de halloween!

a partir das 19h: acompanhados por alguns staff, mutantes menores de idade podem sair para pedir doces ou travessuras pela região! as famílias mutantes costumam se preparar para o evento: casas e ruas decoradas, pilhas de doces nas entradas das casas, crianças mutantes fantasiadas em bando fazendo travessuras, música alta e temática... é uma atividade colaborativa não só da gamsiin, como de toda a comunidade mutante! mutantes maiores de idade podem participar também, mas eles costumam ganhar muitas travessuras das crianças...

a partir das 21h: staff e mutantes maiores de idade estão convidados para se juntarem à festa “noite de terror”! com tamanha tecnologia, gamsiin transforma o seu prédio de eventos em diferentes localizações assustadoras, cada ano sendo uma surpresa. ano passado, o castelo do drácula fez um mutante desmaiar quando ele abriu um caixão e um boneco super realista do conde pulou pra fora, acompanhado de vários morcegos holográficos.

esse ano, o lugar foi transformado num castelo bruxo inspirado pelas diversas mídias com essa temática. abóboras e objetos holográficos flutuando no ar, caldeirões borbulhando espalhados com diferentes sabores de bebidas pra você se servir, doces super realistas que parecem olhos humanos, pés de sapo, asas de morcego... desenhos macabros na parede e nos chãos, teias de aranha e um convite nada amigável para uma “caça ao tesouro mortal”.

ah, e não se esqueça de votar para o concurso de fantasias! é só digitar o nome de quem você acha que tá com a fantasia mais legal no tablet que fica na entrada do salão. às 23h vai ser anunciado os três mais votados e eles vão ganhar vale-presentes do shopping!

p.s.: é uma das únicas noites do ano que gamsiin libera bebidas alcoólicas dentro da instituição, então aproveitem porque no domingo ninguém vai precisar fazer nada, só descansar!

a partir da 00h: CAÇA AO TESOURO MORTAL. escondido em gamsiin, encontra-se um baú de tesouro com uma quantia de dinheiro. mutantes e staff que desejam participar da caça ao tesouro recebem um kit com lanterna, apito (para apitar quando encontrar o tesouro) e um mapa da instituição.

sozinhos, em duplas, trios e até grupos, os participantes saem à procura do baú e se deparam com diversos empecilhos assustadores no caminho! imagine uma casa de horrores de um parque de diversão. quando você menos esperar, alguém contratado para estar vestido de múmia super realista vai sair correndo atrás de você, ou você vai tropeçar num cadáver (falso, claro) ou você vai ouvir vozes sussurrando em latim?! é realmente uma caixinha de surpresas assustadoras.

divirtam-se!

INFORMAÇÕES OOC:

o evento terá duração de hoje (31/10) até 03/11 às 23h59, podendo aumentar um dia caso tenha interesse.

tag de starters e fantasias: #gamsiinhalloween

quem desejar participar do concurso de fantasias e/ou da caça ao tesouro, precisa mandar o nome pelo chat até AMANHÃ (01/10) às 23h porque vamos sortear e postar os vencedores!

abaixo do read more vai constar uma lista de fantasias. se possível, comentem aqui ou enviem no chat a fantasia do seu personagem!

não é obrigatório, mas como o evento está programado para durar menos tempo, vocês podem pausar as interações pré-evento e continuarem elas depois. adoraríamos ver várias interações nesse evento, então se liberem em starters e starter calls! (recomendamos interações mais curtas também, como gifchats e smalls)

no mais, aproveitem!

Johannes and his girlfriend went as Mulder and Scully for Halloween and it's AMAZING

[aesirfit-blog]

Greeted sports fans and Aesir warriors, the word protein was first used in 1839 in a publication by Gerardus Johannes Mulder. This designation was suggested to him in 1838 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius, who derived them from the Greek word πρωτεῖος proteios for 'basic' and 'primarily', based on πρῶτος protos for 'first' or 'senior'. Always remember how important these holistic are!

Steggy Week 2018 Day 3: AUs and Crossovers

If Steve Rogers was Fox Mulder and Peggy Carter was Dana Scully. One thing is for sure, they got married in season 3 tops. Also, know that the Cigarette Smoking Man (Johann Schmidt) died in a horrible accident when a piano fell on his head. Assistant Director Coulson still needs a break (I heard TAHITI is a wonderful place)

The person responsible for this is @steggyisimmortal who wanted me to suffer and made me watch The X-Files.  Why werewolves? Because of CAPWOLF
