Doctors oppose asylum seeker age tests
German doctors have spoken out against proposals for young asylum seekers to undergo mandatory medical tests to ascertain their age.
The German Medical Association (Bundesärztekammer) said the checks were ethically wrong and unreliable.
Conservative politicians have called for tests such as X-rays to make sure young migrants are not lying about being under 18 to avoid deportation.
It follows outrage over the killing of a girl, allegedly by an Afghan migrant.
The 15-year-old was stabbed with a kitchen knife outside a shop in Kandel, in south-western Germany, last week.
An Afghan refugee, who says he is the same age, is accused of attacking her after she broke off their relationship.
After the killing, the girl's father said of the suspect: "There's no way he is ever only 15... We hope that through the process we will now know his true age."www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-42540593This story has everything - savage middle easterner who feels the need to kill over being dumped, and stupid lefty Germans who refuse to determine his age so he can be deported. Stupid, meet stupid. Thanks goodness we're leaving the EU so we won't be influenced by such imbeciles and such scum won't be able to come here easily.

I had an x ray done to look at the bones in my hand at 18 to determine if I was done growing or not. Looked like what the doctor would have expected in a 12 year old's hand.

Seems like a waste of time, money and resources for something which is unreliable. Better to find a way to deport them all or stop them from entering in the first place. |

It's not unreliable, it just has a margin of error, which is predictable. Let's say the margin is +/-20%. If someone is 25 (which a lot of these '15 year olds' really are), the test would say they are 20 - 30 years old, which is still good enough for deportation, right now. You are right about your suggestion, but that will take them forever because (see post 1) they are stupid. |

The solution to any unreliability is simple:
If the test shows they are over 18 and can be deported, accept the test result.
If the test shows they are under 18 and cannot be deported, ignore the test result.

The politics board on V2 is really just the same 5 or 6 posters making the same threads about the SOS and then the same people argue about it on a continuous loop, and it always devolves into the same ad hom attacks. It's like that movie Ground Hog Day. I need some variety. Monkey also brings a lot of international topics, which I find interesting. American politics is just a bad reality TV show now. I can't wait until the circus is over. It's bad when the OT threads are the best part of V2's politics board. |
