Have we become more selfish when it comes to looking after the elderly?

Has society become more selfish when it comes to looking after the elderly? A story emerged in India of a man who allegedly left his elderly mum locked up at home while on holiday.

Have we become more selfish when it comes to looking after the elderly? We are asking this after a story has emerged in India of a man who allegedly left his 96 year old mum locked up at home while he went on holiday. Also, how much do we really know about IVF treatment? A panel of guests discuss the myths and misconceptions around IVF that are prominent in the Asian community. We also hear from Author Zanib Mian who talks about her new children's book 'The Muslims' which she hopes can give young British Asian kids a character to relate to. Plus, ghouls and ghosts will be roaming the streets for Halloween, but does this fit in with your cultural beliefs? And then, Rimla Akthar, the first Asian & Muslim Woman to sit on the FA council, talks about her journey into the sporting world.
