Comic tackles pig welfare
Mike King, stand-up comic, TV frontman and we all know him as the
face of the New Zealand Pork industry.
There he was with his trademark toothy grin encouraging all of us
to get out there and buy pork. Well now you will hear a quite
different message from Mike King. Now he accuses the industry he
once represented, of legalised cruelty to pigs - thousands of
them.
To make his point King goes undercover, with cameras to expose
the conditions in one large North Island piggery. Ian
Sinclair with the story.
The Face Of Courage
Just the sight of Connie Culp used to frighten the kids.
One even called her a monster. That was before she got a new face
and before she became the first American face transplant patient.
Her original face was obliterated by a gunshot fired by her
husband. It smashed her nose, cheek and jaw, and took away her
ability to see and smell. Now her husband is in jail and, thanks to
a medical miracle, she is smiling again.
Forward To The 80s
It started in New York and now the Italian fashionistas
are aboard. The collections, the look, is all about the 1980s -
those aggressive fashion years; the return of the power suit. It
was hip at the time but questionable in retrospect. Now, two
decades later and in the middle of a recession, power-dressing in
back in fashion.

Regarding the son who assisted his mother to die - why was she not in a hospice where pain relief in most cases can asist one to pass away peacefully. Also Scott Sullivan - you are an amazing man and what an inspiration you are to many people fighting this disease. All the very best to you and your wonderful family Scott.

I agree with the previous comments made on the story of the couple donating embryo. It's a bit like the secret adoptions of the 1960s when the birthmother did not have any contact with the baby she gave up for adoption and the adoptive parents did not have any contact with the birthmother. The reality is this couple need to move on and accept the fact that legally they are not part of their daughters life. Sad story though.

A person requiring a donor egg is usually at their last chance to have a child. However it is their child they want, and whilst the gift of an embryo is a wonderful gesture the donor really needs to remember this. If you view the embryo as your child then dont donate, if you view it as a chance for someone else to have a child then dont put conditions on it. I believe in honesty, tell the child there was the most wonderful help in having them, but that they are most definatley their child.

What a gutsy and inspiring young man Josh Perry is. However, it is a bit disappointing that someone so inspirational expresses such superficial views as wanting a "hot blonde" girlfriend. Surely Josh himself knows what it is like for people to make superficial judgements based on appearance alone.

Hi I watched the story about the children of GI's & made me think of my family. Point of difference though is my father is the son of a New Zealander. My grandmother had an affair while he was away at war and my father was born 3 months before his return. My grandfather adopted him and he never knew his real father. I often wonder who & where my biological family is. I wonder too how many others were born under these circumstances!
