Exciting (Ignored) Adult Stem Cell Stories
There’s better things to do than to arguing about whether Advanced Cell Technology really made embryonic stem cells and whether it’s worth millions of dollars if they did: how about learning about knee regeneration and finding a key to making adult stem cells work they way we want them to work, where they’re needed? And … Continue reading
>And this is just yucky
>Warning – yucky (adult) topic follows. Supposedly to raise funds and awareness about HIV/AIDS, several “Masturbate-A-Thons” have been held in England, and San Francisco. The real purpose – at least for the reporters – seems to be a chance to comment on the prude-ish-ness of Americans and our insistence that the best policy to prevent … Continue reading

Now, this is politics
I’ve posted before that I’m inclined to believe (while I’m not ready to advocate its use for several reasons) that Plan B is not an abortifacient. (See here and here. Or look here for a posting of one of the research articles that convinced me to reconsider my earlier rejection of post-coital contraception.) However, why … Continue reading

I haven’t been happy with the personal relationships depicted, with the implication that the 2 unmarried couples featured in the cartoon are intimate.

>1 +1 = 2, not 1
>Ignoring the real breakthrough concerning embryonic stem cells from adult cells, the media is all over the announcement (of old news, at that)that embryonic stem cells can be derived from cells removed from embryos. In fact, all of those embryos used in the experiment were destroyed. The ethics questions are, (1) were 16 embryos or … Continue reading

>More debate on status of the human embryo
> “Think of the way that you might speak to a child who asks ‘is this how I began?’ And the simple answer from a parent is ‘yes, this is how you began, how I began’. “That is a fundamental intuition. An embryo can’t be separated from our development as a human being, can’t just … Continue reading
