A Pluripotent Challenge Recent advances in human stem cell research have generated enormous enthusiasm on the part of researchers and optimistic predictions of revolutionary advances in biomedicine. These same advances have also sparked considerable ethical debate. The main ethical challenges associated with stem cell research have to do with the source of those cells. Although some advances have been made in the use of adult stem cells, the consensus seems to be that the most promising categories

GM crops back on to the public agenda. I understand why they’re doing it, but the danger is that if they’re making these claims about GM crops solving the problem of drought or feeding the world, that’s bullshit.” – Prof Denis Murphy, head of biotechnology at the University of Glamorgan in Wales3 commercialization, genetic engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop yields. The author, former US EPA and US FDA biotech specialist Dr Gurian-Sherman, concludes that when it comes to yield

When I was a younger girl my mother used to tell me that if I wanted to wash my clothes, I had to wake up very early in the morning in order to do so. The reasons for this were that I could get done with that first thing in the morning and continue with the day as usual without laundry getting in the way. In other words “Pay now, play later,” and this was also a saying the headmaster in my advanced level school liked using during the weekly assemblies. Washing clothes may be a minor detail but it
