Article Abstract:
Gay and lesbian people are being offered a service to help them have children using sperm donation and artificial insemination at the Regent's Park Clinic, London, UK, although the launch of the service has caused outrage from the media which claims babies will be manufactured specifically for gay households. The clinic stresses potential parents will be fully screened for suitability and sexually transmitted diseases, and each couple will pay up to 550 pounds sterling for the service. Nursing organisations claim the clinic will make an age old practise safer for both parents and child through regulation.

Article Abstract:
The UK cosmetic surgery market practises in an unregulated sector, which operates mainly for profit, according to several consumer groups which are concerned about the high incidents of complaints and lack of accountability. The Department of Health has no plans to regulate the industry in the foreseeable future, while advertising organisations have no control over misleading adverts. There were 27 complaints made against cosmetic surgery advertising in 1997.
