Pat Gorman quoted a Healthy Start supervisor's remark to the
          effect that WHO thinks "a child has the right to divorce
          their parents". Well, now, I hate to disappoint the
          supervisor but there is no evidence anywhere in WHO's
          cumulative policy statements, or even in the reports of the
          expert groups that advise it, that would support this view.
          This is not the first time this particular red herring has
          been raised, however; it's brought up every now and again,
          apparently on the basis of a statement made by a private
          individual attending a consultation organized by WHO's
          Regional Office for Europe (Copenhagen) more than a decade
          ago. From the comment of an individual, no matter how
          influential, to WHO policy is quite a hike!
