Robert P. George for US Supreme Court (My Wish List)

Here’s an article from the Daily Princtonian ‘way back before the nomination of Harriet Miers. Professor Robert P. George of Princeton explained why it would be difficult for the President to nominate a known conservative. Especially one like Professor George who argues so logically for the protection of human life at all ages and who … Continue reading

Governor has no conscience.

The Governor of Wisconsin has vetoed AB 207, that would have allowed medical workers (nurses, techs as well as physicians) to exercise their right to free expression of religion if asked to administer a lethal dose of medication or pull a feeding tube with the intent to kill a patient. The governor is quoted by … Continue reading

Responding to “Progressives”

A comment from “jimmy” notes that I failed in my stated intention to be proactive rather than reactive. But, I prefer to call the post a “response.” Or rebuttal. The reference was to self-identified progressives. The Progressives’ meeting was sponsored by John Podesta’s organization. They are not prolife at either end of life. They are … Continue reading

“Terri…difference between progressive and conservative bioethics"

“I am the left, I mean “Progressives,” hear me, hear me, hear me! (Just try not to hear me.)” This is my summary of the reviews of the “Center for American Progress” conference titled “Is there an ethicist in the House?” (PDF file). The title is a quote in Nature from Arthur Leonard Caplan, PhD, … Continue reading

>Dr.s as their own research subjects?

>The New York times had an article the other day about doctors who experiment on themselves – an age old tradition. (Even Sherlock Holmes was said to have begun his addiction to cocaine this way.And most of us might remember Dr. Jekyll.) Knowledge and treatments that save lives have resulted from pioneers willing to die … Continue reading

World-wide views on killing humans

One article in the Houston Chronicle is an editorial which covers physician assisted suicide and the current Supreme Court Case on the legality of using Federally regulated medicines to act with the intention of causing death. (It’s worth the free registration.) The second is from Crosswalk.com, and is a summary by R. Albert Mohler, Jr. … Continue reading

Protect clones or cloners?

I have to say, that I’m incredibly impressed with the writing in this piece. I have never seen such masterful dissembling. The point of the article is to advertise a proposed Amendment to the Missouri State Constitution to protect “a form of early stem cell research known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, in which the … Continue reading

Eye-deology/ eh-deology: if you use the word, you've got one

Suddenly, every newspaper and anti-life, anti-family spokesperson is talking about ehd-eology. When did the pronounciation change? About the same time the definition came to mean “religious,” “right-wing,” or “Republican,” I guess. In the old days, before partial birth abortion became “D&X,” and “human embryos” became “spare,” the word was ideology, pronounced with a long “i.” … Continue reading
