Mr.T.LeDUC site : WORLD DISEASE STATS & LIFE EXPECTANCY

The Site’s purpose is to stimulate meaningful research on this important subject through leading Academic Institutions worldwide, while displaying the data in ways the less informed visitor can understand and use. Gathering meaningful Life Expectancy data from every corner of the Globe is an expensive and time-consuming process and with the help of our sponsors, we intend to continue to make it available for free. Our goal is to assist people everywhere in living longer and more productive lives. In the short time the Site has been in existance it has received over 1,000,000 Visitors from 148 countries and is being used everyday by major universities, government institutions, corporations and even K-12 schools in local communities. We are especially pleased to see the number of Military organizations using the Site and are hopeful this trend will continue.

SWEDEN: OCKELBO virus.

-- Communicated by: ProMED [Ockelbo virus was 1st isolated in 1982 in Sweden. It is antigenically related to Sindbis virus. The disease in humans is characterized by arthritis, rash, and fever, although many infections are asymptomatic. Antibodies to the virus have been found throughout Sweden with highest prevalence in the central part of the country. The virus is transmitted by _Culex_ mosquitoes, with transmission to humans occurring from late July until killing frosts in October. Neutralizing antibodies have been found in 3 orders of birds in Sweden. Passerine birds are infected most frequently and may be amplifying hosts of the virus. - Mod.

Australia New South Wales: Organs as inheritable property

Organs as inheritable property? J Med Ethics Published online 30 August 2013 Authors: Teck Chuan Voo, Soren Holm “…This paper argues that organs should be inheritable if they were to be socially and legally recognised as tradable property. It also seeks to contribute to the idea of organs as inheritable property by providing a defence of a default position of the family of a dead person as the inheritors of transplantable organs. In the course of discussion, various succession rules for organs—which might exclude the right to destroy and waste transplantable organs—will be suggested. Lastly, we consider some objections to organs as inheritable. Our intention in this paper is to provoke further thought on whether ownership of one’s organs should be assimilated to property ownership…” - See more at: http://ehln.org/?p=31030#sthash.KHJpozeN.dpuf
