>Confirmation: Adult Cells Reprogrammed to Embryonic Stem Cells

>Last year, we read, and blogged about experiments by Drs. Kazutoshi Takahashi and Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University in Japan demonstrating that (adult) mouse fibroblasts could be reprogrammed to become embryonic stem cells in hopes of being able to one day develop truly “patient specific” stem cells made from the person’s own adult stem cells. … Continue reading

Parental Notification for Abortion Decreases STD risk

Instinctively, I believe that many of us knew this. However, now we have documentation to point to. The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization Advance Access published an article online by Jonathan Klick and Thomas Stratmann on September 4, 2007 , entitled, Abortion Access and Risky Sex Among Teens: Parental Involvement Laws and Sexually Transmitted … Continue reading

>Liberal/conservative neuro-experiments?

>Nature Neuroscience has reported on an experiment that is being touted as proving that “liberals” are smarter than “conservatives.” Or, as the LATimes’ Denise Gallene states, “that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work.” I wonder whether these findings mean that all those visual field tests we’ve been … Continue reading

States demand Feds subsidize middle class insurance

$82,000 for a family of four is not “poor,” or even the “working poor,” except perhaps in Manhattan. Could it be that the State and local taxes make these families the “working poor” and are more responsible than the “high cost of insurance” for the families’ perception that they can not afford health insurance? Remember, … Continue reading

Texas Researchers: Prostate Pluripotential Stem Cells

Researchers Dr. Liping Tang from the Bioengineering Department at University of Texas at Arlington, and Dr. Victor K. Lin of the Department of Urology at UT Southwestern (Dallas, Texas) have published a paper describing pluripotent adult stem cells from prostate tissue. Tissue cultures as well as biochemical markers show that the cells harvested from men … Continue reading

The all or nothing dilemma (SCHIP)

The advocates of government-funded health care are (repeatedly, pleadingly, as though they are in some weakened, minority status) urging doctors and everyone with an eye to see or ear to hear to let our legislators know that we, too, want government to grow, to own medical care, and to tax us and regulate us out … Continue reading
