Talk:Peter Medawar

message: Medawar was born years before Lebanon was founded.  His father was therefore Syrian. (And I am Lebanese/Syrian, it's important.)   — Preceding unsigned comment added by BooksXYZ (talk • contribs) 01:46, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

message: As the text now shows, with reference, Medawar was a British citizen from birth, and left Brazil at the age of three. There is no real basis for describing him as 'Brazilian'. Macdonald-ross (talk) 22:16, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Should / Can it be included here that Alex Garland (bestseller author and screenwriter) is one of his grandchildren (child of his daughter)? --82.146.103.18 (talk) 09:34, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Alex Garland

message: Peter Brian Medawar, indeed, was a brazilian, because he had the brazilian culture and spoke portuguese. If others scientists can have double citizenship, so the same goes to Medawar. Therefore, he created brotherhood with Brazil and his relatives live in Brasil, in Rio and Petrópolis, until today. 189.78.80.110 (talk) 21:18, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Because his parents registered his birth as British at the British Embassy, it makes him British, and not any other nationality. This procedure is recognised diplomatically, and what you or anyone else may think is not relevant. Medawar's autobiogrphy gives the reliable reference, and should not be taken out of the article by people who don't like what it says. In particular, he did not have dual citizenship, since the registration of his birth was a deliberate act to establish his citizenship as British. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:35, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Medawar was a british but brazilian too 

message: "John Young [probably the cricketer] was not a PhD either."
The John Young referred to is most probably the zoologist J. Z. Young who Medawar worked with.

thread_title:  John Young 

message: In the initial Summary section it says "and was a naturalised British citizen"
In the Education and early life section it says "His status as a British citizen was acquired at birth, as he said: "My birth was registered at the British Consulate in good time to acquire the status of 'natural-born British subject'."
I don't know which is correct, but, obviously it's got to be one or the other
