PROBLEM: Since it was revealed that Andreas Lubitz – the co-pilot who purposefully crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 people – had been treated for psychiatric illness, a debate has ensued over whether privacy laws regarding medical records should be less strict when it comes to professions that carry special responsibilities. It has been widely argued that Germany's privacy laws were to blame for the tragedy. The Times, for example, ran an article with the headline: 'German obsession with privacy let killer pilot fly.' Similarly, another article published in TIME said: 'German privacy laws let pilot 'hide' his illness from employers.'Andreas Lubitz crashed Germanwings Flight 9525 into the French Alps, killing himself as well as the other 149 people on board the flightIt has since emerged Lubitz had been treated for psychiatric illnessNews has triggered a debate over whether airlines should have mandatory access to all pilots' medical records, to try and prevent a similar tragedyCarissa Veliz is a philosophy graduate from Oxford University and is writing her dissertation on the subject of privacy

PROBLEM: Archaeologists say they have unearthed the oldest human footprints ever found in North America. The impressions were discovered buried at a shoreline at an archaeological dig site on Calvert Island, British Columbia in Canada. Charcoal in the prints has been radiocarbon dated, giving them an age of 13,200 years old. The finding was made by the Hakai Institute and the University of Victoria, both in British Columbia. Archaeologists Dr Daryl Fedje and Dr Duncan McLaren excavated an area below the high tide line, and found dozens of human footprints that had remained intact in clay. An ancient skeleton found nearly 20 years ago in a river in Washington is related to Native Americans, says a DNA study that could help resolve a long-running dispute over its ancestry.Human footprints were found preserved on Calvert Island in CanadaThey were radiocarbon dated to a remarkable 13,200 years oldIf confirmed they would be the oldest human footprints in North AmericaDiscovery also suggests people once migrated down the coast 
 Question:'There's no way to get to _ other than watercraft, and that applies to 13,000 years ago as it does today,' Dr McLaren said.
