...sources for organs, Caplan says, is a matter of parental motive. Few doctors have problems with using the tissues of miscarried fetuses. But in the weeks since the Mexican tissue transplant, a handful of women have considered the possibility of getting pregnant for the purpose of providing tissue to treat themselves or a family member. Ray Leith, a young woman whose aging father has Parkinson's disease, declared her willingness to do so on national television early this year; her father refused the offer. Others have raised even broader fears that, as Feminist Author Gena Corea puts it, "women will...
...forum for views contrary to the interests of the School Board, which provided 80 percent of the funding for the paper. The students carried editors' titles, but the principal seemed to have been invested with ultimate editorial authority--that was a condition for the paper's existence. If we treat the Hazelwood Spectrum as a newspaper like any newspaper, then control of it would seem to belong to the owner, not the journalists...
Without extensive tests on animals, many of medicine's most spectacular advances, from antibiotics to heart transplants, would never have occurred.

At Tufts, plastic surgeons graft skin onto badly burned animals. Vets at special wildlife clinics monitor birds for internal bleeding by taking their blood pressure with cuffs similar to those developed for people. Pets even benefit from therapies not yet available to their upright companions. Veterinary Cancer Specialist Ann Jeglum...
...Some treat his reflections on Nazism not as a walk around the rim of the deepest spiritual crater in European history, but as a modish and sinister nostalgia for Hitler. What other motives, the argument goes, can you assign to a painter who at 24 was photographed Sieg heil-ing outside the Colosseum or on the edge of the sea, as though "occupying" these sites in the name of the dead Fuhrer? Plenty, as it turned out. The shot of Kiefer saluting the Mediterranean is an acrid parody, the Nazi as Canute trying to raise himself to the level...
