Pakistan upholds death sentence for Christian

"Asia Bibi was harvesting berries in Pakistan five years ago when she took the drink of water that could cost her her life. A Christian in the Muslim-dominated and increasingly intolerant nation, the mother of five was quickly assailed by the other women working the field in a tiny village in the Punjab province. First they said they would not drink from the same water bucket as a Christian. Later, they told police Bibi had insulted the Muslim Prophet Mohammad. The crime, blasphemy, is punishable by death. Bibi, who denies insulting Mohammad and maintains her co-workers falsely accused her, was convicted in 2010. Last week, despite an international outcry, a court in Lahore upheld the verdict and affirmed the sentence that Bibi be hanged. The 50-year-old has 30 days to appeal to the nation's highest court." It is more disturbing to hear that a person was executed for daring to say it was an inhuman law. Source: Foxnews

Can't blood from Ebola survivors be equally screened and then transfused into Ebola patients?

There are seven-year-old girls using the same toilets as 11-year-old boys. "My daughter has said she doesn't feel comfortable about it. Although we are all up for equality we feel this is not allowing our children to choose.
