Peace is not unity in similarity, but unity in diversity.
It's International Day of Peace, this year's theme is ''End racism. Build peace.''
Let's create a world where people are treated equally regardless of their race.

Our recent submission to the Assisted Reproductive Technologies review in WA. Reproductive technology is not only important in helping some intersex people start families, but there are important bioethical considerations around genetic selection.
