novapsycheScientists Plan to Rebuild Neanderthal Genome -- the last paragraph just has me nonplussed. Yes, there would be great ethical barriers to such a venture! My god!
Implantable Contraceptive Is Approved -- talk about not getting much fanfare. Of course, we are in the Era of Anti-contraception.
Stem Cell Bill Vetoed; Override Effort Fails -- I'd hoped that Congress would make itself relevant again

Date: 2006-07-22 03:19 pm (UTC)ethical barriers? well...that depends on your definition of human, doesn't it? I'd like to read it. I'd like to know what they plan, and I'd like to know if they plan to clone, and what kind of animal or human would carry it to term? As far as isolating the genome bit by bit and sewing it together in silico, where are the ethic conundrums there? grinding up fossils?
beware implantable contraception. we had those years ago if you recall "norplant" and it was recalled even faster than the ortho evra black box warning came out.
