In itself, the shorter format demeans women. It gives ammunition to opponents of equal pay, who argue that women put in fewer hours and attract less interest than men. And the discrimination is unusually sexist. While most of the twentieth-century Olympic Games did not include women's distance-running events because of similar old-fashioned prejudice, amends were made in the 1980s.Since then, women have competed in events as gruelling as the marathon with no ill effects. In tennis, meanwhile, the influence of the Victorian mind-set is still apparent.

Neuroscientists have developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act. The technique involves brain imaging which has been used to identify the tell-tale activity linked to lying, violent behaviour and racial prejudice. This latest work reveals the dramatic pace at which neuroscience is progressing, prompting the researchers to call for an urgent debate into the ethical issues surrounding future uses for the technology. If brain-reading can be refined, it could quickly be adopted to assist interrogations of criminals and terrorists. ________________________
The ability to probe people's intentions, minds, background thoughts, hopes and emotions raises certain ethical issues.
Researchers are already devising way to deduce the nature of patterns that are associated with different thoughts.
Rapid advances in neuroscience have forced scientists in the field to set up their own neuroethics society to consider the ramifications of their research.
However, it is just another new technology that society has to come to terms with and use for the good.
This technology could also drive advances in brain-controlled computers and machinery to boost the quality of life for disabled people

Childhood is a stage in the process of that continual remanufacture of the Life Stuff by which the human race is perpetuated. The Life Force either will not or cannot achieve immortality except in very low organisms: indeed it is by no means ascertained that even the amoeba is immortal. Human beings visibly wear out, though they last longer than their friends the dogs. Turtles, parrots, and elephants are believed to be capable of outliving the memory of the oldest human inhabitant. But the fact that new ones are born conclusively proves that they are not immortal.
a) And as long as they're subject to birth and death, they'll never attain enlightenment.
