This Blog considers assisted suicide/euthanasia, bioethics, human cloning, biotechnology, radical environmentalism, and the dangers of animal rights/liberation. My views expressed here, as in my books and other writings, reflect my understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters. (The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily those of any organization with which I am affiliated.)
Apparently, Carlos Lima's paper came out while I was on vacation. I am told that the media paid it utterly no attention. But I will. Stay tuned.

So how can we help them pay attention to it?
Write letters to the editor. Blog it. Call talk radio. Tell your friends. Grass roots communication. Thanks.
The Do No Harm website lists some 26 beneficial findings from adult stem cell research as compared to zero from ebryonic stem cell research. I am glad for your attention to this. It has helped me to form a more nuanced view with which I have been able to give a thoughtful reply to liberal minded friends regarding embryonic stem cell research. This is an issue of an attack on what Philip Rieff called sacral order and all the moral, intellectual help we can get is deeply needed and deeply appreciated.
