A weekend with political docs
I just spent the last 3 days attending the American Academy of Family Physician’s (National) State Legislative Conference, where a hundred or so docs and staff members representing the leadership of nearly 30 State Academies (and a few crashers of committee meetings and self-appointed policy-watchers like me) listened to political pundits, consultants, and each other … Continue reading

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
Cartoons, Elections, Enhancement and Veils
Today’s “Day by Day” Cartoon by Chris Muir is not just an election day political jibe at Nancy Pelosi. It’s a commentary on modern attitudes toward plastic surgery and nerve injections in the attempt to enhance one’s appearance. See? Just about all the big news stories relate to bioethics.

Any egg in a crisis (Human-Cow Cybrid)
Who knew there was a term for an animal/human hybrid? Actually, “cybrid” is short for “cytoplasmic hybrid.” Wesley Smith has already reported on the story that scientists in the UK – where such things are regulated by the government, unlike in the USA – have requested permission to produce a somatic cell nuclear transfer embryo … Continue reading

Another Liver Stem Cell Breakthrough
Researchers in Nebraska and Japan have used a “bioartificial” liver implant filled with mouse embryonic stem cells to prolong the lives of mice with liver failure. Now, if we can just get these guys together with the UK and Texas scientists who developed the technique allowing them to turn umbilical cord stem cells into liver … Continue reading
