by George ChapmanWhat will be the largest public health issue facing doctors in the next 10 years? Pose this tricky question to a medic, an aspiring med student at interview, or quite possibly any individual abreast of current affairs, and the response is likely to indicate obesity and/or its associated disease states (Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease etc.). Probably somewhat less considered, however, would be the social impact of neurodegeneration...

Is God responsible for everything that happens in the universe?
Posted on 10:23 AM by Unknown
by Beth Albuery The extent to which God is responsible for what happens in the universe is determined by the limitations of our belief in God's omnipotence and omniscience. Defined, God’s omnipotence describes his limitless power; a concept which incorporates the belief that God has the power to control what is happening, thus fueling the argument that God is responsible for everything that happens in the universe. His...

by Bea Wilkinson (image source: huffingtonpost.com)Imprisonment is an increasingly common method of punishment in modern British society, its basis being to punish the offender by depriving them of their liberty. In the UK, each new prison place costs approximately £119,000 and the average cost per prisoner per year is £40,000. This taken into account, it could be assumed that the punishment system we currently have in place works efficiently and...
A Slice of Enlightenment – answering some of the greatest questions ever asked
Posted on 8:04 AM by Unknown

by Tom HarperAs I have become progressively older, slowly trudging my way through adolescent life, I have found myself being bombarded with a cacophony of questions of exponential seriousness: “What do you want to be when you are older?”, “If God exists, who created God?”, “Who do you think will win the 2012 presidential election?”. Having attempted to answer such inquisitions, I then find myself in the position of either being asked to explain my...

Just so we’re all clear, I understand that prejudice is still an issue in modern society and I don’t mean to make light of that; this article is purely intended to entertain. The world’s largest sperm bank, Cyros, has recently stopped accepting donations from people with red hair. If we ‘gingers’ begin to die out, I will be legitimately angry at whoever made that decision....
