  Conjoined twins dilemma... Suicide of terminally ill patient... Designer baby transplant success... Woman gives birth at sixty-six...  
  Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do - or ought not to do - impinges on our personal lives, families and societies.  
  John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought. Writing out of a deep conviction that the Bible's view of our humanness points a way forward, he suggests how Christian healthcare professionals, churches and individuals can respond to today's challenges and opportunities.

  Digital Earth – Cyber threats, privacy and ethics in an age of paranoia
  Whether it's the next big ransomware attack or cyber terrorism, digital threats have evolved drastically in recent years. Issues surrounding phishing, misinformation, cyber terrorism, physical security, and privacy continue to arise for both individual users and large enterprises.
  With technology an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, we need to be aware of digital threats, and be able to identify other threats such as phishing, ransomware, and spyware before they can wreak havoc in our professional or personal lives.
  This book discusses the most prevalent technological threats that we face today. It is an accessible guide that highlights the most common cyber attacks, and explores data ethics and privacy in an age where we hold so much of our PII (personally identifiable information) online.
  It covers cyber threats such as phishing, disinformation versus misinformation in a post-COVID-19 world, cyber terrorism, and the power of social media, and analyzes ever-evolving privacy concerns in response to technological advances. For example, does the use of drones by law enforcement offer us complete security or raise questions around the privacy of citizens?
  The book focuses on:
  
  - The spike in phishing amid the COVID-19 pandemic
  - Cyber terrorism
  - The risks associated with social media
  - Whether drones are a search-and-rescue solution or the all-seeing eye in the sky

  Splanchnology is the branch of anatomy that focuses on the study of visceral organs, which include the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. These organs are primarily located within the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities, playing crucial roles in sustaining life. Understanding splanchnology is essential for medical professionals, as it provides foundational knowledge for diagnosing and treating various diseases affecting the body's internal organs. 
  The term "splanchnology" originates from the Greek word splanchnon, meaning "viscera" or "entrails." Historically, the study of visceral organs has been a key aspect of medical science, with ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks making significant contributions to anatomical knowledge. The field has evolved considerably with advances in medical imaging, surgical techniques, and molecular biology, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of organ function and pathology. 
  Visceral organs are classified based on their primary functions. The digestive system, comprising the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas, is responsible for processing and absorbing nutrients. The respiratory system, including the lungs and airways, facilitates gas exchange, supplying oxygen to the body while removing carbon dioxide. The urinary system, with the kidneys, bladder, and associated structures, is essential for waste excretion and fluid balance. The reproductive system, differing between males and females, ensures the continuation of life through reproduction. Each of these organ systems works in concert with others, maintaining homeostasis and overall health.

  Economics is indeed a Social Science that delves into and unravels the production, distribution and consumption of everyday goods and services. It analyzes the behavior of buyers and sellers, which gives Economics the social definition but also employs a systematic approach to problem solving. Thereby making it a recognized science as well.  
  As a student of all things Political, Business and Economics I continue to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society. Though not without huge risks. 
  Contained within is a small list of common knowledge terms in the Social Science of Economics. I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics.
