"The Stupidity of Dignity"
http://secularoutpost.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ stupidity-of-dignity.htmlSteven 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.htmlThe 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.

This Could Be Complicated…but…
http://www.better-marketing.com/ blog/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ this-could-be-complicatedbu…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.
