We need sharing, not eggs or embryos!
From WebMD: “We don’t need any eggs or embryos at all,” says Shinya Yamanaka, MD, a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences in Kyoto, Japan. Yamanaka describes his lab’s early successes in mice creating stem cells from adult cells. His research involves isolating two dozen chemicals that give embryonic stem cells their ability … Continue reading
>ASBH day 2: Human rights and Public Health Ethics
>Ever been the only conservative in the room? I can go one better: a woman from Rhode Island responded to my confession that I’m a conservative by saying that we should talk, since she’d never had a conversation with a conservative before and she wanted to understand how we think. BTW, before I go on, … Continue reading
Drug company gifts – corruption of medical judgment and education?
[Edit note April 21, 2007 – spelling in the title and “labels”] I don’t know about the rest of you, but while it’s possible that I can be bought, it’s not for the price of a free pen or a lunch. I pay $100 extra for my subscription to Contraception because I won’t sign off … Continue reading
Embryos, Dickeys, WARFs, and “rat poison.”
Maybe I should have called this column “I smell a rat.” All this fuss and bother that Sam Berger is making in today’s blog.bioethics.net “Guest Column” over the lack of federal funding of embryonic stem cells had me following links and searching Google half the night in an effort to decide whether or not Berger’s … Continue reading

Subscription is required for The Scientist, but you can read part of the snide column on the blog.bioethics.net site (or here). It may be … Continue reading
Medical ethics, lawyers, bean counters and government guns
As you know, I’m studying for my Master’s in Bioethics at Trinity International University, an Evangelical university in Deerfield, Chicago. Jerri Lynn Ward, J.D., asks at her blog, Texas Advance Directives Blog, how medical ethicists are being trained today. TIU has a Masters in Bioethics program begun by Nigel Cameron and John F. Kilner in … Continue reading
Ethicists for hire (Revised)
A long time ago, there were some enterprising scientists and doctors who wanted to clone animals and humans and send out press releases and make money. Since they were scientists and doctors, and very smart, they recognized the need to cover themselves in case anyone objected to the births of sick animals and the creation … Continue reading
Media and “clone” researcher
The Korean veterinarian, Hwang Wu Suk, who was the first author in the human cloning scheme that became a scandal, testified this week in his embezzlement trial. The headlines and focus that various news outlets chose is almost a story in itself. After seeing a LifeNews report that Hwang admits that he diverted research money … Continue reading
Art Caplan: lies and projection
Best title ever from the editors and pseudoeditors over at the blog.bioethics.net: “President to Stem Cell Community: Drop Dead.” In fact, the President demonstrated the “checks and balances” guaranteed in the Constitution by vetoing a bill that did not allocate new funds and that would have encouraged the unethical destruction of embryos without a clear … Continue reading
More Lies: Stem Cell “Experts” For Sale?
Michael Fumento, in the National Review Online, writes a rebuttal to the lies that have been spread concerning David Prentice, Ph.D. and the current use of non-embryonic stem cell therapies vs. trick language and out and out lies. There are wonderful resource links and references in the article to prove Dr. Prentice is much more … Continue reading
