>"Expelled, The Movie" Conversation Continues
>The many Anonymice are still discussing world views on a post from last October. (In case you wondered where I’ve been: We’ve had our primary, with one hotly contested local Republican race ending in a cliff-hanger. The same seat was decided by 54 votes out of about 20,000 in 2006. This time, it looks like … Continue reading
Surfing the web, leaving a trail
[Images no longer available] It might surprise many Internet surfers and commenters how much a slightly curious website owner knows about them. I’ve always believed that I shouldn’t post any thing I didn’t want published in my hometown newspaper. However, I forget how much information about me is available on the Internet – whether or … Continue reading
>Happy New Year! (a little late)
>Okay, it’s January 9th, and I’m just getting back to the blog after a couple of weeks obsessed with politics, house design, and moving. (We are about to remodel our 60 year old house.) I do my best to keep raw partisan politics out of this blog. However, this is a Presidential election year here … Continue reading
>Women do not want pro-abortion President
>The New York Times has weighed in on the secret to Hillary Clinton’s win in New Hampshire: women voters.

>Doctors, Abortion and Conscience
>The debate on medical ethics has definitely moved from “Our Bodies, Our Choice,” to “My Choice, You Don’t Have a Choice.” Autonomy, the “I want” ethics, trumps the right to life, the right to liberty and the physician’s duty to do no harm. Where once laws were written to punish doctors who harmed patients, doctors … Continue reading
>Lee Silver: iPCs named due to politics
>Lee Silver, author of is someone that I’ve read about on the ‘net and about whom Robert George and Patrick Lee said, “He hides his ideology under a veneer of science.” He was the guest on Carl Zimmerman’s Bloggingheads.tv November 30, discussing reprogrammed skin cells. Dr. Lee is convinced that if a couple of more … Continue reading
>Yamanaka has a conscience
> “When I saw the embryo, I suddenly realized there was such a small difference between it and my daughters,” said Dr. Yamanaka. The New York Times article on Shinya Yamanaka, “Risk taking is in his genes,” (free one time registration necessary) should get the headline-writer in trouble for a sad pun. Instead, Dr. Yamanaka … Continue reading
Warnock Answers
Dame Mary Warnock has written an essay which was published in the November 29, 2007 issue of Nature, which appears to be an apologetic for her part in the establishment of the ethics of embryonic research in the United Kingdom. The bloggers at Women’s Bioethics Project speculate that she wrote in anticipation of Parliament’s review … Continue reading
Colorado’s Human Life Amendment
Although Time Magazine, the Denver Post and the blogs insist on calling it the “fertilized egg rights” law, Colorado’s State Supreme Court has approved the wording for a proposed “Human Life Amendment.” The proponents of the amendment need 76,000 signatures in order to get the initiative on the November, 2008 ballot. The Chicago Tribune reporter … Continue reading
>Genes Cut Out of Reprogrammed Cells
>Lots of people (here, here, and here, etc.) are commenting on the “Proof of Concept” by Jaenisch, et. al., in this week’s ScienceExpress (early online publication before print) that showed gene modification to reprogram mouse cells in order to create blood line stem cells that would achieve gene therapy – or even, a cure – … Continue reading
