Medical student in the United Kingdom, having previously studied Biology at A-Level. I spend a good deal of my time volunteering with St John Ambulance, which I find fantastically rewarding and when I'm not writing essays I'm handling flags here on Bio.SE.

comment Why is elevated homocysteine considered a risk factor for angina?
@Xaqron I'd say this is on topic for us. I can see how the factors you've listed would be clear risk factors for myocardial infarction but, with the possible exception of 5, I'm not seeing a clear link to Angina (stable or otherwise). Could you elaborate further?

comment What organs are absolutely needed by the human body?
Just to clarify, are we looking for organs that once removed would be fatal without medical intervention? For example the body can be maintained for a long time without kidneys if dialysis is applied.
