What if that single person is a soldier and those who need him is his unit? The Boston Globe has an insightful op-ed piece today that weighs this question in light of the increased emphasis on screening and treatment of emotionally wounded soldiers. With the recognition of the importance of a soldier’s mental health, more soldiers today are getting screening and treatment for common conditions, such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But with such diagnosing and treatment often comes a discharge, because it’s in the soldier’s best interests to not be exposed again to the traumatic stresses of war. Such discharges have an unintended effect of decreasing a unit’s available manpo...

Where just a few years ago the clamor to overturn the Bush policy was touted throughout the media and among the politicians of the Science Establishment, it now appears that many of the world's top scientists are moving away from ESCR/Cloning and toward IPSC research.At least that is the take of the splendid bioethics newsletter Bioedge. In the latest edition, for example, it tells of George Q. Daly, the former president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research turning to IPSC research--even though only a little while ago he testified that cloning offered the best hope for obtaining patient specific pluripotent stem cells. From the story:Like a number of other leading stem cell s...

When Employees were in Pharma's hand Let your employees speak Oppressed so hard they could not s...

And other Passover questions.I'm thinking about the following questions during this Pesach season. You are invited to roll your eyes at them, ignore them, discuss them, think about them, or suggest your own.1. Does it matter whether the Exodus story is historical?2. How can one story (the Exodus) yield contradictory interpretations - e.g. the Jews are God's chosen people, yet the Jews were deserving of extermination in the desert?3. Did the Israelites do anything to make themselves worthy of redemption - or was it all Moses'/Aaron's/God's doing?4. What is the connection of chametz to Passover?5. Can one people redeem another, or is that unwanted interference in the internal affairs of another nation?6. If God chose the Jews, what did God choose them for? (Source: Zackar...
