Myths on Myths about stem cells
There’s a new Public Broadcasting System (your tax dollars at work) television show on “stem cells,” “Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita.” You don’t have to go any farther than the top of the home page, with its picture of a girl in a wheelchair and this quote, “Some people consider stem cell biology to … 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. I am convinced that Senator Clinton’s campaign is very aware of the importance of the women’s vote. (I believe that the “crying” incident of January 6th was aimed at reminding women that Hillary is a woman, … Continue reading

"Objectivity is Bias" (meaning, healing, integrity)
Our recent conversation about conscience and medicine and the ongoing conversation about science and controversies is reflected in the NPR “Speaking of Faith” replay of an interview with, and publication of an essay by, Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen. (The outline and much of the story is available in text, here.) “An answer is an invitation … Continue reading
Abortion, miscarriage, and risk to later babies
I’m afraid that the report I blogged about a couple of days ago is being misinterpreted by at least one Pro-life source. The numbers are impressive enough from a public health and pro-life view point, without ignoring the fact that the original data is 40 to 50 years old (without the advantage of our current … Continue reading
Abortion and risk to the health of later babies
New analysis of old data published in the January 2008 issue of the Journal of Epidemiological Community Health (free abstract) has confirmed the association between induced abortions and later premature birth and low birth weight babies. Babies born prematurely and/or weighing less that normal are much more likely to die in the first month or … Continue reading
Red florescent cat cloned
In my day – we just belled them. Poor kitties won’t be able to catch mice. The author reminds us about the veterinarian fake cloner, Hwang Wu Suk, before he finishes. From the Korean Times: Researchers found a way to clone pet cats five years ago. Now they can play a trick on their genes … Continue reading
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
