Evolutionary workers' party
Article Abstract:
The left should replace outmoded Marxist ideology with the philosophy of Darwin. Darwin believed the struggle for existence was of utmost importance for humans. He suggested some aspects of human nature are found universally, such as the need for humans to make relationships with others. Humans also need to develop hierarchies. Marx would have supported some of Darwin's theories concerning the physiological development of man but Marx believed humans would act to promote equality for all, rather than try to advance their own or their families interests.

Final frontiers: science has obscured the once clear line between life and eath and it is time our ethics developed in response
Article Abstract:
There is currently a period of transition in attitudes to the sanctity of human life because of the growing technical capaicty to keep human beings alive. The acceptance of brain death is seen as a criterion of death, but a pregnant woman who was declared brain dead was kept breathing to allow her foetus to develop. A soccer fan who was caught in the Hillsborough Footbal Stadium crush, still had some brain stem function, although courts allowed his doctor to undertake action intended to end his life.
