Children and Organ Donation; the Law on Cohabitation; Lullabies; Iron Age Women
Presented by Jenni Murray: Children and Organ Donation; the Law on Cohabitation; Lullabies from around the world; Women of the Iceni tribe in Iron Age Britain.
Presented by Jenni Murray. There is an increasing shortage of children's organs being donated in the UK. This has prompted a leading doctor at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital to ask if discussions about organ donation should become a mandatory part of the National Curriculum. At what age are children mature enough to take such a decision? The government has announced it won't be changing the law on cohabitation - despite recommendations by the Law Commission to do so. So should cohabiting couples be given any legal protection? Lullabies from around the world: what do they tell us about the culture they come from? Women in the Iron Age: what role did women play in the construction of an Iron Age causeway that has been excavated in East Anglia?
