>Texas Leads (Ethical) Stem Cell Collection
>The State of Texas is pioneering a cord blood bank, supported in large part by money from taxpayers. Just as we bank our blood and are very unlikely to need it, new mothers and fathers can bank their new infant’s cord blood. He, too, is very unlikely to need a transfusion or treatment. But, some … Continue reading

"Letting go" vs. protecting embryonic human life
A reader asks, If it is reasonable to stop life-prolonging treatment for fully alert, self-aware (but dying) adults, why would it possibly not be reasonable to perform research on a ball of a hundred or so cells with virtually no physical organizaion or life processes beyond mere cellular metabolism, let alone consciousness, self-awareness, and personhood, … Continue reading

"The View" goes down slippery slope on Plan B
Not really, Barbara Walters goes straight to claiming that the pill blocks implantation. (Mistaken, in my view.) The video is available, here. Elizabeth is passionate and fairly clear about her reasoning to protect all human life, rather than just some who are “wanted.” However, the discussion slides on down to rape, incest and 12 year … Continue reading

John Leo, columnist, on the "slippery slope" of embryonic stem cell research
“Just when you think the debate over embryonic stem cells can’t get any more degraded, an outfit called the Campaign to Defend the Constitution comes along and proves you wrong. The group took out two vitriolic full-page ads in The New York Times (at $200,000 a pop) lashing out at religious conservatives as extremists and … Continue reading

Futile care and when to "let go."
The idea that “we should do it because we can do it,” is poor reasoning in destructive embryonic research. It is also poor reasoning in the face of death by natural causes. Good medicine and science allows non-maleficence to inform beneficence:Heal when possible, but first, do no harm. Here are two items that deal with … Continue reading
