A suitable case for conversion?

Article Abstract:

Mixed views are currently being expressed about the possibility of demutualizing Nationwide Building Society. The pressure group Members for Conversion believes that the building society should convert to a PLC, thus making free shares available to investors and borrowers. They reject the moral argument being made against conversion that the free capital which the building society has built up over several generations should be retained for future generations. The directors of the building society believe that it should retain its mutual status, as this is the best way of protecting members' interests.

Race and genomics

Article Abstract:

A person's race cannot be used as a surrogate for their genetic makeup. Conversely, no scientist has been able to identify a particular genetic makeup that creates a particular race. Race is also not necessarily a predictor of health outcomes.
