Freewill, Fate and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔwork

Vinny and guests debate willpower versus genetics and ask whether homework should be banned.

Vinny Hurrell is joined by Marc Savage and Ashleigh Coyle on the show. Tonight is free will just an illusion to keep us sane. Researchers say it's all down to your genes and no amount of will power can change anything. And should homework be banned or is it a good way of preparing children for the 24/7 work world where you have to answer e-mails at home in the evening.

Our miniseries - 'What I wish I'd known when I was 25', continues with cookstown missionary Maud Kells who was shot during a robbery aged 75 but still returns to the Congo every year.
