Newbie question.

For many risk factors for cancer they ask if you have a parent who had that particular cancer but usually before a certain age. Is this because that in old age developing cancer is simply as much about your age than any generic risk?

Are there any plans to update the Economist applications to better reflect the types of interactive charts you do? At the moment they're pretty good but still follow the paper based design without taking advantage of what is possible on these devices.

It's not being deprived of a sense though is it? Being gay obviously isn't a disability. Being deprived of sound surely is.

Disability isn't defined as being different or having difficulties. It's defined by having physical or mental limitations that impacts on day to day life (i think).
