Evolutionary or Darwinian medicine is the attempt to explain the human vulnerabilities to illness through Darwinian principles (Chiou 2016, 40). The Darwinian medicine focuses on why traits have persisted and natural selection has not eliminated the traits to leave us vulnerable to disease. The perspectives of human wellness between anthropology, evolutionary biology, and medicine can be quite different, although when taken as a whole, give a complex and more complete analysis of human health and

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (M.S) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS) that leads to a variety of disabilities, including: asthenia, lack of coordination, abnormal vision, cognitive changes, and sexual and urinary dysfunction(1).

Tortious negligence does not evaluate the state of mind but aims to identify failure to reach a certain standard of care. Duty of care must exist, a breach of duty should be committed and damage must be caused by this breach. To evaluate whether Grace’s injury can result in legal remedy, 'the neighbour test ' for negligence founded by Lord Atkin must be considered. He stated that 'You must take reasonable

Tay Sachs is an incurable genetic disease that affects the central nervous system. It is a rare disorder that occurs chiefly in infants and children, especially those of the Jewish heritage. It is characterized by a red spot in the retina, paralysis, gradual blindness, and loss of muscle movement. Tay Sachs can only be inherited, which means it is passed from parents to child only. The process begins in the fetus, very early in pregnancy. However, the disease does not become physically apparent
