Medical ethics paper argues for right to choose on helmet wearing

"The paper discusses mandatory cycle helmet wearing and argues that any law to make the wearing of cycle helmets mandatory in the UK should only apply only to children and not adults. The researchers argue that it is a matter of principle that people should be allowed to take risks with their health, if they choose to do so. The ethics paper, which is called Liberty or death; don’t tread on me, was published in Journal of Medical Ethics today."
