Fiona Godlee, MB BChir Biography
- Title:
- Editor of the BMJ (British Medical Journal)
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Prostitution Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“[P]roperly licensed premises would mean that the worst aspects of the sex trade-child prostitution, trafficking, and slavery and the exploitation of vulnerable people-could be tackled. Licensing premises would encourage sex workers’ access to health and social care.
…It is surely time for an end to the arguments of moral opprobrium and for some bolder steps towards legalisation if we are to improve public health and human rights.”
