Universal screening of pregnancies – guidelines
In medicine, a guideline published by a specialty association is more than a “suggestion.” If a doctor varies from that guideline, he or she is presumed guilty of varying from the standard of care. And had better find a defense lawyer, because there’s a good chance she’ll be sued for malpractice or, in the case … Continue reading
>"Forcing" women to talk to their doctors
>This pro-abortion rant from the San Antonio Current is really reaching: Frank Corte is a pro-life legislator who wants to control Texas’s women and health professionals. With HB 21, he wants to deny women the ability to review abortion warnings privately on video, and instead force them to hear it directly from the doctor; with … Continue reading
"Forcing" women to talk to their doctors
This pro-abortion rant from the San Antonio Current is really reaching: Frank Corte is a pro-life legislator who wants to control Texas’s women and health professionals. With HB 21, he wants to deny women the ability to review abortion warnings privately on video, and instead force them to hear it directly from the doctor; with … Continue reading
Projection, distraction about embryonic stem cells

The business journal, Bloomberg, reported on several companies that are involved in ethical stem cell research. Evidently, these companies … Continue reading
>Housecleaning – note on error
>I edited yesterday’s first article on the Amniotic/Placental stem cells reported in Nature Biotechnology. I had mispelled “De Coppi” and had mistakenly reported that Krabbe’s disease was the focus of the experiments with fetal tissue implants in young Daniel Kerner.

Housecleaning – note on error
I edited yesterday’s first article on the Amniotic/Placental stem cells reported in Nature Biotechnology.

In fact, Daniel is being treated for Batten’s Disease.
“Con-Job,” “Deception” (Amniotic Stem Cells)
Don C. Reed, a rabid supporter of embryonic stem cell research – and, it seems, only stem cell research – has written an editorial, “Coincidence or Con-Job?” He flatly states that he believes that we are witnessing an act of “weapons of mass deception” in the timing of the release of the newest issue of … Continue reading
>Babies on "spec"
>Jennalee Ryan, in San Antonio, Texas, is offering pre-frozen embryos to momas and daddies who like the selection in the Abraham Center for Life catalog. In the terms used for new homes, she’s not building custom babies or even semi-custom babies, she’s offering “spec” babies. If the babies were dresses, these might be called “designer … Continue reading
