The Wall Street Journal of February 16, 2013, grabbed attention with the headline “A Genetic Code for Genius?” Any serious geneticist would easily dismiss [...]

Hyping Embryonic Stem Cells Like It’s 2004

I thought we were finally finished with all the hype over embryonic stem cell research. During the first decade of the 21st century, that was pretty much all we got in the media, mostly wild hype about pending CURES! CURES! CURES! Adult stem cell successes—already forging ahead at breakneck speed—were mostly ignored, even though the [...]

Freezers Are For Food

In the world of commercialized conception, it seems we’ve decided the freezer is a great place to keep eggs, sperm, and “spare” embryos until we need them. We think they do pretty well in the freezer, but the verdict is still out on what happens over the long haul when you freeze and store human [...]

Peter Singer’s Views Deserve Scorn, Not Awards

It is a disturbing sign of the times that Princeton’s notorious bioethicist Peter Singer has been awarded Australia’s highest civic award “for eminent service to philosophy and bioethics as a leader of public debate and communicator of ideas in the areas of global poverty, animal welfare and the human condition.” This is a disgrace.

This is Huxley’s Brave New World

This video has really struck a chord. We've received a number of notes on how it has helped people in thinking about (and communicating about) reproductive technologies.

This summer CBC founder and president Jennifer Lahl was interviewed for a documentary on reproductive technologies for German TV. Jennifer's segment, aptly titled "This is Huxley's Brave New World," is available online (the interview is in English with German subtitles).

This is why we do what we do. It's just one example of the worldwide impact you are having through your support of the CBC.
