Psychodrama - or New Trauma? Mount Bachelor's executive director, Bitz, says her school uses widely accepted psychological treatments to help children overcome their problems. "We also use a psychodrama-treatment approach designed to do one or both of two things," said Bitz in her statement, "get a student to embrace qualities of their character (such as beauty or courage) about which they have doubt or assist them in recognizing qualities that are unproductive (such as selfishness or conceit) about which they have little insight...

The NIH falls short of proposing the use of federal dollars to create new embryos specifically for research purposes. The guidelines would only allow funding for stem cell lines generated from embryos that were "created for reproductive purposes, were no longer needed for this purpose, [or] were donated for research purposes." That means that researchers can only extract stem cells from existing embryos that would be discarded in the IVF process...
