From BBC: one who passed the test
The BBC reports that the first known birth after Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) was used by the parents, even though there is no known family or maternal health risks. “The test, called aneuploidy screening, involves checking IVF embryos for signs of genetic abnormalities by taking a single cell for analysis.” In the past, the rules … Continue reading

Popular Science on Artificial Uterus
For some reason, the article insists on calling the uterus a “womb.” And for some reason, I’d prefer that they call it the uterus. The artificial uterus is closer than I thought. The researcher, Dr. Liu, is using “spare” human embryos which she destroys after 10 days. Very important for pro-life and pro-embryonic/cloned-stem-cell reader alike. … Continue reading

>Dedifferentiation of body cells to "create" stem cells

Both MSNBC and the commenters at Betterhumans.com ( their motto is “Create the future,” but the theme and attitude is more anarchic than creative) are surprised that Dr. Leon Kass would be excited about the research. … Continue reading

UK discusses embryo screening for possible cancer
Glasgow’s Herald reports that the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority is considering regulation to allow pre-natal testing for cancers such as breast and colon cancer, including those cancers which don’t have full “penetrance.” (Meaning that, even if not everyone who has the gene will develop cancer, screening is allowed.) I have to agree with a … Continue reading

Redefining Humans
My last post referred to getting ahead of technology. But some of the Senators in Washington are doing their best to move us backwards with their false cloning ban, a repeat of legislation from the past. SB 1520 redefines humans as being implanted. Which at least notes the humanity of the great majority of those … Continue reading
