Should child vaccinations for preventable diseases be made mandatory?
A parent or guardian faces 18 years of decision making about a wide range of issues on behalf of their child. Many of those decisions can have broad ramifications and since accurate assessment of risk is challenging for the vast majority of people we need a framework to support our decision making. We rely on experts gathering, analysing and presenting the conclusions from vast amounts of data to provide guidance on topics ranging from education to nutrition. But, how do we decide who is an expert and how do we react to the variety of ways guidance is proposed or imposed? For example, why does the law in the UK mandate your child must wear a seatbelt but only recommends they must be vaccinated?

Should there be places available where people addicted to drugs can use them medically supervised?
Controlled drugs are the scourge of our modern society and in most parts of the world their use is controlled and regulated. In the UK, possession and dealing in controlled drugs is regulated by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. In broad terms, possession of controlled drugs amounts to a criminal offence which potentially carries a prison sentence. It necessarily follows that this legislation drives the consumption of controlled drugs underground.

Will young people accessing online gaming cause issues with gambling in adulthood?
Gambling is a mug's game - we all know that. It's what makes the adrenalin rush of the win so exhilarating. Yet, many of us like a flutter whether it's buying a National Lottery ticket, investing in shares or a bet on the date of the next General Election!
