I do believe that there is a very real bias in the “mainstream” bioethics, especially in the academic world. Just as with much of the formal sciences and medicine, the belief that all humans at all stages of life are deserving of special protection from harm – the “prolife” viewpoint – is not welcome. To … Continue reading
>Reporters often get it wrong, too
