Is Korea considering a ban on cloning?

Is this a case of “It’s never too late,” or “closing the barn door after the horse is out?” The South Korean National Bioethics Council is debating whether to allow the creation of embryos and the donation of oocytes (eggs). From the JoongAng Daily Ethics group rethinks egg questionsFebruary 03, 2006 ㅡ The National Bioethics … Continue reading

Of course, (cloning) stem cell fraud couldn't last!

Blog.bioethics.net has a guest posting by the University of Texas’self-identified “stem cell enthusiast (read that: “destructive stem cell research”) John Roberts (a lawyer, not a veterinarian) that is nothing but a demonstration worthy of the Great Oz: “Don’t bother to look behind the curtain! It’s not necessary, because we’ll find out, eventually, what’s back there! … Continue reading

Feminist: cures haven’t come, but eugenic(s)…expanded.

Now we have a clear description of the truth about genetic diagnosis, prenatal screening, and abortion. It’s far too likely to be the story of the near future of genetics, “regenerative medicine,” and all those up and coming forms of unethical, destructive research to “improve” the human genome. Thanks to the email list of Dianne … Continue reading

Once more, destructive embryo research disappoints

Thanks to a post at FreeRepublic.com, I was alerted to this article in Scientific American on the attempt to produce keratinized skin cells from embryos. Howard Green–who created the technique for culturing sheets of skin in vitro for transplant–and his colleagues at Harvard University set out to turn embryonic stem cells into keratinocytes and then … Continue reading

Nanotechnology and Federal Funding

Bioethics.net has a great discourse on nanotech, funding, and the effects of funding. The comments are great. Mine may not be so great, but, here it is: The fascination with, and alarm surrounding, nanotech reminds me of every environmental, medical, and socio-biological controversy I’ve read about for the last 40, uh, 30, years. The kernal … Continue reading

"Witchhunt" for conservative bioethicists and biotechnologists?

I wouldn’t be surprised. Michael Fumento, the author of one of the huge books on my shelves, Bioevolution, lost his job writing a column for the Scripps Howard News Service, due to accusations that he is “bought.” It seems that 5 years ago, he accepted grant money in order to write that book. That was … Continue reading
