Petri Dish Babies, 25 Years Later

bl8n8r writes ""You can't buy a baby in the United States," said Caplan. "... But you can buy the sperm, you can buy the egg and you can rent the uterus." So, what I want to know is if it's cheaper than my current apartment, and if utilities are included :D" See also a good story about IVF in the Mercury News.

Huh?

Oh no, "disadvantaged" children are all the rage, every rich white lady on the block has her own personal abandoned crack baby so she and her friends can sit around and cluck their tongue about how awful "those people" are.

Catholicism

[Eric Ass Raymond]

Just watch how the religious conservatism, mostly based on Catholic dogma, is raising its ugly head again. The same spirit that burnt Bruno, threatenened Galileo with torture and death and silently approved Hitler's Final Solution is gaining momentum again in Europe. Stem-cell research, perhaps the most promising route to the cure of the most serious diseases of our time, is getting banned by the EU countries thanks to the "life is sacred" (sickening isn't it?) line of the large Catholic EU countries.

Too bad Europeans do not have the separation of the church and the state.
