...your average overeager freshman, I quickly came to understand the ins and outs of Harvard Time. Arriving early to my Moral Reasoning section, I was forced to awkwardly schmooze with my TF, a pasty, terrified philosophy grad student. I realized that the logic of Harvard Time held true outside the academic sphere. No one cool goes to Annenberg before 6:00 p.m. Showing up on time to parties meant I had to help set up, plus everybody laughed at me, or at least they would have if they had been there...

...counsels that while the producers of a movie "have a moral obligation to ensure that the kids benefit from their involvement with the movie, [they] cannot be held to ransom if the children are unable to make it in their lives." Almost everything, says Roy, depends on an individual child and how he or she matures after the spotlight shines elsewhere. The problems begin almost immediately. "When a slum child becomes famous and comes into money," says Roy, "all sorts of relatives start coming out of the woodwork and laying claims on the money and alleging all sorts of things...

...Without discounting the moral concerns that some Americans have about using embryos - which many consider to be fully realized human life - for scientific research, Obama said that moral values do not necessarily preclude the study of embryonic stem cells, particularly those obtained from the pool of 400,000 or so embryos currently stored in IVF clinics around the U.S., most of which would have been discarded. "I believe we have been given the capacity and the will to pursue this research - and the humanity and conscience to do so responsibly," he said. (Read "The Year in Medicine 2008: From...

...ethical ideology from the truth of stem cell research. The ethical arguments levied against stem cells are unconvincing. The use of stem cells is not a destruction of human life. The embryos from which these cells are cultivated are merely a collection of cells—with no moral status as persons—and would otherwise be discarded. Yet, the use of this collection of cells could have life-saving implications. The restrictive policies of the previous administration allowed religious beliefs to hinder scientific advancement. Moreover, due to the limitations of the past eight years, progress will be slow...

...medical research involving the destruction of human embryos (“Stem Cells to get Federal Funding” news story, March 9). The judgment by the author that the previous arrangements imposed “onerous restrictions” on research seemed to dismiss out of hand the moral good which the now lapsed rules sought to promote. The article did not mention a second executive order, which is intended to unfetter science from restriction by any narrow political ideology. These two acts are intimately linked. What then is the “ideology” which has heretofore...
