Michael in Nigeria's just emailed....'I would like have my say live on today’s show. The issues I would like to talk about are 1. Abortions 2. Borat and Bush 3. About the Man who married a goat.' That's a big range you're suggesting there Michael. We're definitely picking up on one of them....
Here are today's topics...
WOULD YOU BUY A GENDER TEST KIT FOR YOUR UNBORN BABY?
A company called DNA Worldwide is offering what it calls the 'Tell Me Pink Or Blue Gender Test Kit'. Type it into and you'll find any number of links about it. It offers pregnant women the chance to find out the gender of their unborn child from the 7th week of the pregnancy.
Would you buy the test? Do you think you should be able to buy the test? Will a test like this increase the number of abortions? And if it does, is that necessarily a problem?
THE DEVELOPING WORLD CANNOT ASPIRE TO LIVE LIKE THE WEST... BECAUSE THE WORLD CAN'T COPE
The has got a new report out and there's one element of it which has caught your attention. It's the section which states that if people in the developing world live like those in the West then the world's eco-system just won't cope.
So should the developing world accept that it can never have the energy-rich lifestyle of the West? Or should the West accept it can't do one thing, and then tell everyone else they can't follow suit?
WHAT SHOULD TONY BLAIR DO NEXT?
Depending on which newspaper you read, once Tony Blair is finished being PM, he's going to hit the US lecture circuit or is about to take a high profile role in Africa. The truth is not many of us really know what he's got planned...but that won't stop us offering him some advice. What do you think he should do next?
I'm very interested to hear all three of these discussions so please keep your contributions coming and I'll be able to sit back and listen.
