FEATURED ARTICLES: 

 

Stuart A. Newman, "Averting the Clone Age: Prospects and Perils of Human Developmental Manipulation"
AHB NOTE:
See also Newman's, "My attempt to patent a human-animal chimera," where he relates that Philip Leder, Chair of the Genetics Department, Harvard Medical School stated in 1998 that,  “[t]he creation of chimeras is an outlandish undertaking. No one is trying to do it at present, certainly not involving human beings.”  Such a comment contrasts starkly with Great Britain's recent green-light for creating part human-part animal embryos and offers a dramatic example, once again, of biotech's slippery ethical slope.


Lori B. Andrews, "Genes and Patent Policy: Rethinking Intellectual Property Rights"
AHB NOTE:
After reading this Lori Andrews article Get Active! and help Stop Human Gene Patents.



Neil Munro, "Dr Who? Scientists are treated as objective arbiters in the cloning debate. But most have serious skin in the game."


Diane Beeson and Abby Lippman, "Egg Harvesting for Stem Cell Research -- Medical Risks and Ethical Problems"
AHB NOTE:  After reading this article Get Active!  Visit the Egg Donors Project and call for a moratorium on egg harvesting for cloning research.
