Abstract：
This article summarises the main arguments for the retention of the defence of mental impairment presented in an online debate that took place in August 2021. It canvases the justifications for the defence, rebuts human rights arguments for its abolition and outlines why there is a lack of viable alternatives. It concludes that advances in knowledge should lead to the reform of the defence rather than its abolition.
