Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy puts genetic key to breast cancer in the spotlight.

The developing science of DNA profiling helped the actress decide to have a double mastectomy

Even celebrities are mortal. They share our genes and, like us, cannot escape their inheritance. Angelina Jolie’s graceful and dignified account of her encounter with her own mortality in The New York Times will inspire millions.

It will also shine a light on the developing science of genetic diagnosis and DNA profiling which is increasingly allowing patients at high risk of inherited diseases to be identified so that they can take preventive action.

The Truth About School

Did you ever wonder how it is that kids spend 13 years from kindergarten to high school supposedly being prepared for life, yet when they get out they don't have any real skills?

Amazing boy can see in pitch black with eyes that glow.

A boy has stunned medics with his ability to see in pitch black with eyes that glow in the dark.

Doctors have studied Nong Youhui's amazing eyesight since his dad took him to hospital in Dahua, southern China, concerned over his bright blue eyes.

Dad Ling said: "They told me he would grow out of it and that his eyes would stop glowing and turn black like most Chinese people but they never did."

Medical tests conducted in complete darkness show Youhui can read perfectly without any light and sees as clearly as most people do during the day.

Could Nong Youhui be a Hybrid or Starchild? (A new and growing generation of extraordinary and gifted children are springing up across our planet). Is the human species evolving? Or possibly Extraterrestrial visitors tinkering with our DNA? Is this the beginning of a new cycle of human evolution? As always you decide.
