    "The Stupidity of Dignity"

    http://secularoutpost.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ stupidity-of-dignity.html

    Steven Pinker has a very good essay on The New Republic online, "The Stupidity of Dignity." It examines the uselessness of the concept of dignity in bioethics, particularly the Catholic-inflected "theocon" version of bioethics that has become very influential in the US government.

    Your Take on the First GM Human Embryo

    http://blog.wired.com/ wiredscience/ 2008/ 05/ your-take-on-th.html

    The genetic modification of a human embryo by scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College has elicited both hope and horror. The tweak itself was small -- a gene that produces glowing proteins, allowing researchers to better observe embryo development -- and the embryo was already defective, incapable of ever developing into a baby.

    Incremental Change Towards Sustainability and How I Maintain My Lawn

    http://timprosserfuturing.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ incremental-change-and-ho…

    Lawns are a relatively recent historical phenomenon.  Lawns didn’t exist except around the palaces of the world (think Versailles) until the 19th century (link), and even then only in the more affluent places like Great Britain.  In North America, though there were some modern lawns in the early

      Now if there is one thing peculiar to technology sales and marketing within the B2B space is that some technology can be complicated to explain. Trying to explain or pitch a solution that can scan and analyze living tissues while transferring data gathered in real time can be a mean task.

    Human ageing gene found in flies

    http://blog.elabspace.com/ science/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ human-ageing-gene-found-in-fli…

    Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have found a fast and effective way to investigate important aspects of human ageing. Working at the University of Oxford and The Open University, Dr Lynne Cox and Dr Robert Saunders have discovered a gene in fruit flies that means flies can now be used to study the effects ageing has on DNA.

    While it has long been known that embryonic stem cells have the ability to develop into any kind of tissue-specific cells, the exact mechanism as to how this occurs has heretofore not been demonstrated.

    Genetically modified human embryo stirs controversy

    http://www.hitechwave.com/ 2008/ 05/ genetically-modified-human-embryo-stirs.htm…

    News that U.S. scientists have for the first time produced genetically modified human embryo is stirring controversy in the communities of scientists, ethicists, and government officials. The GM embryo was created by a team from Cornell University in New York who wanted to study how early cells and diseases develop.
