- Will clones end the abortion debate?
- A few weeks ago I wrote here that the stem cell debate will continue, despite the success in pulling stem cells from 8-cell embryos, and despite the success of turning skin cells into stem cells. Moral debates seldom yield to scientific fact. So the question...

- Stem cell debate to continue regardless
- Here's an easy prediction to make. The stem cell debate will continue through 2008, and beyond, no matter where the stem cells come from. (Picture from Advanced Cell Technology, via Scientific American.) In a society which still debates whether evolution should be taught, and...

- Political and scientific values in health care debates
- Many of our health policy choices come down to a conflict between scientific and political values. Science doesn't work through majorities. Even a consensus view can be readily overthrown, as we see today with CAT scans. Science also can lack simple, black-and-white answers. Take the...
