Mental Health Behind Bars
05/10/2003
A new groundbreaking study of the mental health of NSW prison inmates paints a very bleak picture indeed. But what comes first, the mental illness or the crime? This week on All in the Mind - what's happening in the minds of people behind bars and how are their mental health needs being met?
Addiction - What if It's Genetic? (PART 2 of 2)
20/07/2003
Join Natasha Mitchell at the International Genetics Congress with a panel of special guests Jay Hirsh (University of Virginia), Wayne Hall (University of Queensland), Les Twentyman (Open Family Australia), Loane Skene (University of Melbourne), and Jayashri Kulkarni (Alfred Hospital) to debate the ethics and the science of addiction. Now that we've mapped the complete human genome, what secrets might it hold about why we humans love our drugs so much? Are some of us born to become addicted? And if there was a genetic test available, or a vaccine against addiction - would you consider having it? The discussion continues this week, with the broadcast of the second half of the forum.
