Bioethics podcast


        The other day, I listened to a podcast from Point of Inquiry about the interesting world of bioethics. If you can, listen in on the discussion. I thought that Lindsay's thoughts on the wide range of subjects under the "bioethics" umbrella were most interesting.I specifically recall -- and enjoyed -- the discussions of the ethics of abortion, the questions surrounding the terminally ill, and the recent trend of health care providers to attempt to use the "conscientious objection&qu...

Turtle turned into Figure 8, By 6-pack plastic rings

Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading contaminated a computer chip which was then inserted into his hand. The device, which enables him to pass through security doors and activate his mobile phone, is a sophisticated version of ID chips used to tag pets. In trials, Dr Gasson showed that the chip was able to pass on the computer virus to external co...

After looking over the plethora of cool, hot, ex...
