International Day of the (Unborn) Girl Child

On October 11, 2012, the United Nations marks the first annual International Day of the Girl Child.  The observance was formally adopted by the U.N. General Assembly on December 19, 2011 as an official day on which to raise awareness of the situation of girls across the globe.  The institution of this day is a decidedly positive symbol.

12th Anniversary of RU-486, a Somber Commemoration

Last week marked the 12th anniversary of the approval for use in the United States of the abortion drug RU- 486.  However, unlike other notable moments in medical history such as the discovery of penicillin in 1928 and the development of the polio vaccine in 1955, RU-486, or mifepristone, calls for a far more sobering memorial.

The Trend Towards Ethical Stem Cell Success Continues

Two recent developments involving the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) again serve to underscore the reality that adult and other non-embryonic avenues of stem cell research are advancing at a far more dramatic pace toward providing actual therapeutic benefits for patients than is human embryonic stem cell research (hESCR).

Arizona Fetal Pain Law Blocked
Life & the Law

Arizona Fetal Pain Law Blocked

A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the enforcement of Arizona’s House Bill 2036, which was intended to go into effect today after much contentious debate.  The new law bans abortions after 20 weeks gestation - four weeks earlier than previously permitted in the state – and it does so on the grounds that abortions done at that stage or later pose an increased risk to maternal health and inflict pain on the developing child in the womb.

No Run on this Bank

It would seem that the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) is not alone as it increasingly moves away from human embryonic stem cell research (hESCR) and towards adult and other non-embryonic avenues of stem cell research.

Santorum Launches Campaign for Stem Cell Research Institute

Last week, Former GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum returned to Iowa.  This time he was not there to campaign for public office but to instead announce his new position as the official spokesman  for the Give Cures campaign.  The Give Cures campaign is the John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute’s “national gift campaign that raises funds to advance ethical, non-controversial stem cell research to find cures or therapies, and provide education.”
