Danish law would specify that sexual consent must be given voluntarily and as an expression of an individual’s free will through words or action.

The notion that artistic creativity and emotional state are somehow related goes back to the time of Aristotle. However, it is extremely difficult to quantify the degree of misery (or happiness) of an artist, and even more so if an artist is deceased. In my research I have found a way to do so by extracting the emotional content from written correspondence.
My research uncovered patterns of emotional wellbeing throughout the lifetimes of creative individuals. During a series of research projects on how geographic clustering of composers influenced their creativity, I found large productivity gains by composers working in locations such as Vienna, Paris and London in the late 18th century to early 20th century. At the same time, it became apparent that in these cities composers have been surprisingly often unhappy or unwell, prompting the question: How do emotional factors influence creativity?
Danish doctors are violating healthcare legislation by not informing seriously ill patients and their families that they will not be resuscitated in the event of an emergency. According to experts, in some cases, patients are denied intensive care against their wishes.
The revelations were made in a TV2 documentary last week which showed patient records at Herley Hospital in eastern Denmark marked with codes that, according to medical experts, instructed hospital staff not to administer intensive treatment in the event of an acute attack. In one case, personnel were advised not to resuscitate an 82-year-old woman suffering from lung disease, even though she had requested the opposite.
