A pregnant woman pictured being carried from a Ukrainian maternity hospital
after it was badly shelled by Russian forces has died along with her unborn
baby, Ukraine's Foreign Affairs Ministry said Monday.
The woman, who hasn’t been named publicly, was photographed Wednesday on a
stretcher as she was being taken to an ambulance in the devastation and ruin
of the besieged city of Mariupol.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack “an atrocity” and
said three
people died in the bombing. It is unclear whether the
unnamed woman was one of them.
The foreign ministry announced the woman’s death in a tweet and
repeated the government’s plea for Western powers to enforce a no-fly zone
over the country to prevent future airstrikes.
On Saturday, The Associated Press spoke
to Dr. Timur Marin, the surgeon who tried to save the
woman’s life, who said her pelvis had been crushed and a hip had been
detached. The baby was delivered by cesarean section but showed “no signs of
life,” he said.
“More than 30 minutes of resuscitation of the mother didn’t produce
results,” Marin said told the AP. “Both died.”

Dear Dr Lavery,
This is a copy of an email I sent to Dr Tidy. I received
a reply with the information that Dr Tidy is on maternity leave and the
information that emails relating to research ethics in the department
could be addressed to you. I do think that the matters I raise in the
email to Dr Tidy have a linkage with research ethics, but in a sense
which seems a very different in kind. I do, of course, understand that a
woman on maternity leave should not be subjected to minor or trivial
intrusions but it will be clear that I think the issues raised, which
include legitimate defence against aggression, including Russian
aggression and Nazi aggression, aren't in the least minor or trivial. I
hope, then, that the email can be forwarded to Dr Tidy. The email:
Dear Dr Tidy,
My Website www.linkagenet.com
has pages, many of them very extensive, on a wide range of
subjects. My page on universities www.linkagenet.com/themes/cambridge-university.htm is
one of the more extensive pages, with material on universities other
than Cambridge. It includes comment and criticism as well as
profiles of academics. I intend to add a profile of you to the page
soon. The focus of attention will be your views on war and
armaments. I may well add profiles of some other academics who, like
you, signed the open letter, 'Academics against the arms fair.'
Material on my site tends to be highly dispersed. Other pages with
relevant material on war and armaments (and gender, since linkages
between gender and war are an interest of yours):
My Website does have very high Google rankings for a
wide range of search terms. These are a few very recent ones I
include some rankings not relevant to these issues, simply to
demonstrate the range of the site.

I realize that the demands on your time may make it
impossible for you to look at any of these pages, but if you do look
at any of them, you'll find that the site makes extensive use of
what I call 'Large Page Design.' Very many of the pages are wide as
well as long. They can't be viewed adequately on the small screen of
a portable device. A computer monitor or at least a laptop computer
is more or less essential.
I'm familiar with your views on war and armaments (and on war and
gender) and will, of course, be reading more of your contributions
to these subjects before I write and publish the profile. I'll
simply make this brief comment now. I have to say that I find the
perspective of the Open Letter you signed very naive. The conflict
in Ukraine raises issues which call into question the views of the
signatories. My view is that the conflict in Ukraine shows that
these views are not just naive but deeply disturbing. To deny
armaments to the Ukrainians fighting against the invading Russian
forces would be unjust, monstrous. Other conflicts which show that
the views of the signatories amount to a wilful refusal to recognize
harsh realities include the allied forces' use of armaments to
defeat Nazi Germany and the use of armaments by Israel. Some of the
pages already cited will make clear my reasons for taking this
view.
No reply is expected to this email, unless, of
course, you feel that a reply would be useful.
Best Wishes,
Paul Hurt
