A Murder Puzzle - Getting Started

In common with a number of other activities on this site, Murder Play is based on the work of our favourite philosopher, Judith Jarvis Thomson. Probably you'll be pleased to hear that this time it doesn't involve trolleys. However, it does involve a surgeon, and a murder, so that's exciting; and it won't take very long, so click the button below to get started.

Really Deep Thought

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
--John Stuart Mill.
