People are worried about what the "experts" are up to with respect to genetic engineering. They are concerned that they are going to find some unhealthy adulterated product on their grocery shelf that represents a large company's best effort to make a buck by genetically engineering milk, fruit or meat. They worry when they learn that researchers have already bred a goat-sheep hybrid, a "geep" in the jargon of genetics, without seeming to have needed permission or authorization from any agency or review board

I think those in the scientific community who argue for either ignoring or simply blowing off the "Jurassic Park" phenomena as just so much Mad Scientist nonsense are missing a great opportunity. Every kid I know under the age of 14 can't wait to see the movie. A lot of adults are curious too. While the themes of science out of control and a science indifferent to human values do not accurately describe what is taking place in genetics today, "Jurassic Park" does accurately reflect a set of anxieties about genetic engineering that have deep roots in our culture

The American Medical Association estimates that nearly a third of the women seen in emergency rooms are victims of domestic abuse. The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges says that more than half the men who batter their wives also abuse their children. Government surveys show that domestic violence was responsible for more than 100,000 hospital days, 30,000 emergency room visits and 40,000 visits to the doctor each year

Not only are the subjects of hope, independence and setting of death rarely discussed, a just-published survey in the Annals of Internal Medicine conducted by a team of doctors headed by Jamie Von Roenn of the Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago indicates that there is much too high a chance that those who fear pain and suffering more than death have reason to worry

Pres Clinton's plan for revitalizing the economy by investing in science and technology is designed to offset the decline of older US industries and to limit the economic upheaval brought by the end of the Cold War. It is hard to tell if it will work, but it seems to be a reasonable gamble

Trisha Marshall died of a gunshot wound to the head on April 21 while 17 weeks pregnant. David Smith, the father, asked hospital officials to do whatever they could to save the fetus. Marshall's body was kept on life-support machines at Highland Hospital in Oakland in the hope that her fetus would develop to the point where it could live

About the time the doctors at Philadelphia's Children's Hospital took the seven-week-old Lakeberg twins to surgery, I had just finished giving a speech about health care reform to the European Society for the Philosophy of Medicine and Health Care meeting in Oslo, Norway. The society is basically the trade organization for those in Western Europe who work in the field of medical ethics
