I would like to hear more about an investigation into the failure to evacuate the hospitals in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina last year. I’d also like to hear about a medical review of the care of the patients – the medical review should come before any criminal charges, in fact. Instead, the Louisiana Attorney … Continue reading
>The Houston Chronicle’s Todd Ackerman is the only reporter who sent out an article on yesterday’s hearing on stem cells in Houston. It seems that my 20 minutes or so of being grilled by Rep. Cook was seen as a “clash.”: The hearing was marked by a minor clash between Dr. Beverly Nuckols, a New … Continue reading

>Today the Texas House State Affairs Committee met in Houston to hear invited testimony on their interim charge on following stem cell research. The proponents of embryonic stem cell research are still claiming that “only” 9 or so diseases are being treated with adult stem cells and that we’ve had 40 years on adult stem … Continue reading

>As a science fiction reader, I’m concerned that the bioethicist for NASA can’t even tell which humans are human enough to have their rights protected. What’s going to happen when he runs into another species somewhere “out there”? Paul Root Wolpe, Ph.D. has been the NASA bioethicist for a few years, but I wasn’t aware … Continue reading
