Assault. Three to four weeks isn't very long in development. And while assault on a visibly pregnant woman should carry a stiffer penalty for endangering the life of the unborn child, the development of that child must also be taken into account.
It isn't a dichotomy it is more of a trichotomy. There is value in actualization, and greater potential in a baby or fetus that is many months developed than a frozen embryo.
For one there are not enough whombs in the world to carry all the frozen embryos. Secondly many embryos never develop into babies and many babies don't develop into adults.
The grandmother has presumably lived a long time and has had a chance to procreate and see her children procreate, where-as the child has only lived a short time but has great potential and developed far beyond the embryonic stage.
Also both my grandmothers are already with the Lord and I have no need of their corpses. Even if alive I'm sure they would have me make the same choice as they would have more chance of escaping the fire on their own where-as a baby would not.
For a while probably, at least until adult stem cells are actually proven to be as useful as embryonic stem cells and are able to be used interchangeably. Yes there are some uses of adult stem cells that have produced therapeutic results but not every therapy or study can be done with adult cells.
Furthermore there is not much of an ethical dilemma for using embryonic stem cells as they are not children nor will they ever develop into children. The problem is political and based in the morality of others which doesn't consider very deeply the question. The problem is that people often equate potential life for life, and this is wrong and ultimately produces evil.
For instance if you really believed that embryos had the same worth as a fetus or a child and a hospital was burning and you could only rescue all the babies in the maternity ward(we'll say 24 of them) or all of the potential babies in the cryogenic freezer then you logically would rescue the freezer as you would save far more lives. I for one would choose the actual babies and save the maternity ward.
You don't *have* to justify your opinion, but no one *has* to listen to it or give it any relevance.
By posting here it can be assumed that you want your opinion to be heard and considered and thus probably do care about people listening to it. Thus it would be assumed that you would justify your opinion and not respond in like a flaming mule.
For restaurants it is usually because the menus are sent to the printers in PDF format and they don't have the time/money to change the format for the site.
No way to upload to a computer, no computer assistance, and $30?
I can give you a device that does the same for a tenth of the amount and the added convienence that it can easilly be digitized using common computer technology.
Oh? So you want people to know your personal writings, your bank account and financial information, perhaps a few embarrassing stories of your childhood shared between freinds, medical information etc.
There are MANY things that are legal and non suspicious that someone might like to keep private and secret from the world at large.
Free as in price and use. Since there are many many businesses that benefit greatly from Linux why is it so surprising that such businesses would pay to develop it further?
It has a bit more power than the mac mini which starts at $599 us. It has 1 gig more ram than the mac mini and glancing over it comparable specs elsewhere. Upping the mac to 4 gigs and a larger harddrive you put the price at 799.
Aye. You know every closed source project finishes on-time, under-budget, and is always grade-A quality software. If only open-source could follow that model.
Most open-source developers are doing their work for a very specific goal, and that goal is the goal that their employers are paying them for. Yes there are many many hobby projects in OSS but so are there in CSS. Hobbiests developed the basic principals used in science today, and still contribute great things to science and technology.

Ethics are however equal to a standard of action that is well thought out and thus can be argued and debated between individuals.

He did. These are the two solutions he is talking about and neither meets his needs. I know I have the same problem.

A 'broken toy' that can still do some research and has outlasted its original mission plans how many times over?

Aye and plenty of info that gathers in the browser preferences to exploit. Bookmarks, history, passwords, email, phone numbers, credit card numbers.
Yes but the 100's of sheets stick around once you're done with them. Thus they have a 'save' function that the tablet lacks.

I call it a pencil and paper pad.
Sorry it was a general volley. I swear I didn't know my rhetoric was loaded.
Indeed but they have to get publicized. If scientists don't own up to their mistakes and embrace them then their mistakes will be repeated.
Science isn't about getting more things right it is about getting less wrong.

Our government does believe in human rights. It is just that Corporations are more human than any individual citizen.

Dear god I've been around here for 10 years?!
I don't know about you but 5 usb ports does not a day make. I got 6 on my machine and still use a hub.

Why use wine? Picasa is available native for linux now.

Or the writing was some kind of summery giving a general idea using the common-use term exactly and not exactly to scientific precision.
