In the 1980s, when abortion was severely limited in then-West … Continue reading
Baroness Mary Warnock led the British ethics committee (named after her) which couldn’t quite decide the status of human embryos, but allowed destructive research on them. (See this LifeEthics essay on the Baroness’ 2007 apologia concerning the deliberations of her committee.) This year, the Baroness told British journalists that she believes that the demented are … Continue reading
“The adenovirus will infect the cells but then will clear themselves from the cells. After a few cell divisions there are no traces of the virus in the cell,” Hochedlinger said. “You can’t tell the virus was ever there.” Science Magazine has published a report on induced Pluripotent (iPS) stem cells from liver cells (hepatacytes) … Continue reading

In fact, Mr. Siegal, without the objection to cloning and embryonic stem cell research, iPS cells researchers might have taken a little longer to develop therapy that holds promise for regeneration and healing in the body, without transplants, intermediate cells and without costing the life of another human being. Bernie Siegal, that lawyer who sued … Continue reading
Just, “Wow!” Ms. Paglia and I have many points of common ground. I’ve admired her honesty and linear logic, even though I most certainly disagree with some of her views that are (as she says in this column) informed by her atheism. Read the whole essay, when you can. But, for the moment, let’s look … Continue reading

Here’s a great review about those new “induced pleuripotent stem cells” (iPS) we’ve been hearing about. iPS’s are truly “patient specific stem cells” since they come from the patient himself or herself. The cells are manipulated in the lab, using viral particles and specific environments to make the able to become many different types of … Continue reading
