| [Comment] How the Health and Social Care Bill 2011 would end entitlement to comprehensive health care in England |
|
The National Health Service (NHS) in England has been a leading international model of tax-financed, universal health care. Legal analysis shows that the Health and Social Care Bill currently making its way through the UK Parliament would abolish that model and pave the way for the introduction of a US-style health system by eroding entitlement to equality of health-care provision. The Bill severs the duty of the Secretary of State for Health to secure comprehensive health care throughout England and introduces competitive markets and structures consistent with greater inequality of provision, mixed funding, and widespread provision by private health corporations.

| [Correspondence] Improving health: can Pakistan prioritise? |
|
Pakistan lags far behind in meeting the Millennium Development Goals. Neonatal mortality is responsible for 57% of all deaths in children younger than 5 years in the country, and Pakistan has the highest neonatal mortality rate in the region. The under-5 mortality rate has decreased by 24% since 1990. However, both rates have remained more or less static in the poorest income quintile. With the devolution of the Ministry of Health last year, Pakistan faces the challenge of developing the much needed provincial infrastructure that would integrate the comprehensive efforts of various stakeholders in promoting better health outcomes.

| [Perspectives] America's plague of incarceration |
|
Arriving at Washington DC's Reagan National airport last year, I, like other visitors, was greeted with large signs featuring the Statue of Liberty and the words: âWelcome to America, home to 5% of the world's people and 25% of the world's prisoners.â The posters were produced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to help publicise their âMisplaced Priority: Over Incarcerate, Under Educateâ campaign.

| Heritable genome-wide variation of gene expression and promoter methylation between wild and domesticated chickens |
|
Conclusions:
Our results show that epigenetic variation is inherited in chickens, and we suggest that selection of favourable epigenomes, either by selection of genotypes affecting epigenetic states, or by selection of methylation states which are inherited independently of sequence differences, may have been an important aspect of chicken domestication.

| [Comment] Born to be wild? |
|
Antisocial behaviour in adolescence can be associated with ill health in the form of self-harm, drug abuse, and mental disorders, and may presage criminal activity later in life. This is a worldwide problem with far-reaching social and economic implications, for individuals as well as for society as a whole.
