I thought this was really neat: A recent study presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology shows that in the first five days of his existence, the tiniest of human beings has the capacity to heal himself of genetic abnormalities. … Professor William G. Kearns told the annual […]
Over the last few years, numerous scientific breakthroughs have shown that adult cells can be made to behave like embryonic stem cells. These “induced pluripotent stem cells” have great promise. Not only are they more ethical than embryonic stem cells, but since they can be derived from the same patient who needs treatment, they don’t […]
I won’t leave you hanging: the answer is that pro-lifers must follow the scientific evidence wherever it leads. Recently, Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute wrote an article for LifeNews.com, rightfully denouncing Ted Turner’s call for a global one-child policy. (Turner, he writes, fathered five kids but “has often publicly regretted having so many […]
Today’s post is by guest author Nulono. Two interesting dilemmas are the Ship of Theseus paradox and the Loki’s Wager fallacy. Basically, the ship of Theseus was an important ship in ancient Greece (for reasons that aren’t important). This ship was so important that the Athenians decided it needed to be preserved. So, through the […]
If you aren’t part of our Facebook group, you really should join. We have lots of interesting discussions there. One such discussion took place in response to Wednesday’s post, which featured abortion advocates in Colorado who proclaimed that “anyone who has an X and a Y chromosome is biologically female.” That’s wrong, of course. But […]
This has already been covered by Jill Stanek, Live Action, Stand True, and many others, but SecularProLife.org must comment. The following video contains exceprts from a debate at Fort Lewis College in Colorado, where an “Advocates for Choice” student organization revealed their ignorance of, and contempt for, embryology:When I heard “[T]here’s research on our side […]
Last night, NRLC marked the 25th anniversary of the founding of Teens for Life. It was a sad occasion in a way, since the pro-life movement always hopes to go out of business, but they kept the tone upbeat. The celebration featured lots of pictures of teens with big hair in the 80’s. Next, Dr. […]
Following in the footsteps of the state senate, the Louisiana house of representatives has just passed a bill requiring abortion businesses to give women the chance to see ultrasounds of their children. Although some abortion businesses do ultrasounds for medical reasons, they often hide the screen from the mother, reducing the chances that she will […]
Yesterday, scientists announced the creation of artificial life. The microscopic organism, dubbed “Synthia” (below), was developed by transplanting syntheic DNA into a host cell. The emerging technology quickly generated ethical concerns, mostly from environmental groups who oppose it for much the same reasons they oppose genetically modified crops. We aren’t anywhere close to being able […]
