  The Shocking Truth about Legal...

  Legal rights are the foundation of the modern world, influencing every aspect of our lives. From the moment we are born, we are subject to a complex web of rights that protect our freedoms, safeguard our interests, and ensure our ability to live our lives in a fair and just society. But what exactly are legal rights, and how have they evolved over time? The shocking truth is that many people don’t fully understand the legal rights they are entitled to, nor do they realize how these rights impact them on a daily basis. In this book, we aim to uncover the truths behind legal rights, shedding light on their importance and how they shape the world we live in. 
    
  Legal rights are not a recent concept; they have been developed over centuries, evolving with society's changing needs and values. In early civilizations, rights were often limited and dictated by rulers, leaving little room for individual freedoms. It wasn’t until the rise of democratic societies that the idea of legal rights for all people began to take shape. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is one of the earliest examples of a legal document that set the foundation for individual freedoms and legal protections. However, it wasn’t until much later that such rights would become enshrined in the constitutions and laws of nations across the world. 
    
  The significance of legal rights today cannot be overstated. From voting rights to free speech, from the right to a fair trial to protection from discrimination, legal rights play a crucial role in ensuring equality and justice. Without these rights, individuals would have no means of holding authorities accountable or protecting themselves from abuse. In the digital age, the scope of legal rights continues to expand, with new laws aimed at safeguarding personal privacy, intellectual property, and access to technology.

  The Dressmaker's Mirror - Sudden...

  Experts agree on the value of genetic testing when there is a family history of disease, or if the patient has an illness frequently caused by a mutation. Knowing the disease mutation lets family members find out if they have it too and need preventive care. The book explains that doctors can order tests with genetic counseling at relatively low cost and how this will help them prescribe preventive actions, make earlier diagnoses, and get better outcomes. The book's genetic discussions also delve into the implications of broad-based genetic screening without a family history. Policymakers are considering the benefits and drawbacks of this approach and I present both sides of this debate. 
   
   
   
  While working on this book I uncovered a family secret hidden for over one hundred years. Family lore had it that a heavy dressmaker's mirror fell on and killed my uncle when he was four. But the death certificate told a different story—his true cause of death was heart failure. My grandparents fabricated the accident to protect their surviving children's marriage prospects. Long before the discovery of DNA, my grandparents intuited and feared James Watson's message, "We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, in large measure, our fate is in our genes." The book suggests genetic testing and associated medical intervention can change our fates.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Giver" by Lois Lowry tells the story of Jonas, a young boy living in a seemingly perfect society that values sameness and control. The community has eliminated pain and suffering, but also emotions and individuality by removing memories of the past. As Jonas is chosen to be the next Receiver of Memory, he begins to understand that this utopia has come at a great cost. Through the memories that he receives from the current Receiver, known as The Giver, Jonas experiences the full spectrum of human emotions, both good and bad, which his community has suppressed. He learns of love, joy, war, and loss. This knowledge causes Jonas to question the morality of his society, and he ultimately decides that he must leave in search of a better way of life. The book explores the themes of memory, freedom, individuality, and the importance of emotions in human experience.
