Vatican toughens stance on embryo research
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 weeks 5 days (www.nature.com)
The Roman Catholic Church has reaffirmed its opposition to embryonic stem cell research in a document that updates its twenty-year-old position on biomedical research and reproductive medicine.
The most significant change is that the Church rejects the idea that scientists who work with tissues derived from stem cells or fetuses are blameless so long as they had no part in the creation of the cell line or tissue sample 
Nature inverviews Senator Obama on science issues
Darkfrog submitted, created time 3 months 1 week (www.nature.com)
The title says it all. Obama, in his own words, responds to Nature magazine on scientific issues. The original idea for the article had been to get both candidates' views, but McCain's campaign declined Nature's invitation. Summaries of Senator McCain's views are given instead.
The only scientific issue for which McCain shows more enthusiasm than Obama is the space program. On others, he is either surpassed or matched by Obama
The difference between a liberal and conservative
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 months 1 week (esciencenews.com)
What do most scientific studies into the differences between liberals and conservatives have in common? They're usually performed by social scientists, who are usually liberals.
This may be why the prevailing idea among such scholars that conservatives are more fearful than liberals. However, a new study shows that it is different kinds of fear, not the magnitude of it, that is correlated with liberal and conservative views. To summarize, conservatives fear chaos and liberals fear emptiness
Education: Royal Society's Director of Education steps down over creationist remarks
Darkfrog submitted, created time 3 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)
The Royal Society's Director of Education seems to have been forced to step down. Michael Reiss, who is both a professor at England's Institute of Education and an Anglican priest, stepped down the other day after a speech in which he advocated "engage in dialogue with the creationist views some children express in science classes" [Nature's words] re-raised old questions about whether priests should be appointed to such positions at all.
Frankly, I think it is perfectly possible for a priest to serve in such a capacity
Is religion good for your health?
sea-maid submitted, created time 5 months 4 days (www.nature.com)
Science and religion, anyone? Come now, stifle those yawns. A paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B1 this week claims to offer a fresh perspective, with the startling suggestion that religion is a way to protect us from disease.
The general idea behind this theory — that religion is mainly a social construct — is actually much older than the authors, Corey Fincher and Randy Thornhill of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, acknowledge
Benefits of "magic mushroom" therapy are long lasting
sea-maid submitted, created time 6 months 1 day (www.nature.com)
The benefits for people who have had positive or even mystical experiences induced by the psychedelic drug psilocybin — the psychoactive ingredient in "magic mushrooms" — linger for as much as a year, according to the latest follow-up study of such patients.
The study offers more support to those who argue that, when used responsibly, some drugs more commonly taken for leisure can safely be used to relieve the stress associated with severe chronic diseases such as cancer.
New "Pro-Life Pharmacies" Defend Religious, Moral Objections
kavin submitted, created time 6 months 1 week (www.christianpost.com)
In 2002, Neil Noesen, a Wisconsin pharmacist and devout Roman Catholic, faced a nightmare after he was slapped with $20,000 in court fines and restrictions on his license for refusing to hand a patient prescription that could be used for an abortion.
That case, like dozens of other similar cases that have dotted the nation, have spurred the development of a growing number of new “pro-life pharmacies” that cater specifically to guarding the religious objections of pharmacists opposed to contraceptives and abortion drugs
Evolution opponents use "strengths and weaknesses" rhetoric to undermine science in schools
Darkfrog submitted, created time 7 months 4 days (www.nytimes.com)
"Creation science" didn't work. "Intelligent design" didn't work. Thank God. The new move for opponents of the theory of evolution, according to this article in the New York Times, is "strengths and weaknesses." Strictly speaking, I have nothing against pointing out the scientific weaknesses of evolution, but most textbooks could probably handle that in half a page. The advocates of the "strengths and weaknesses" ideology want the textbook to say, "evolution has an inability to explain the Cambrian explosion," when it really ought to say, "we don't know what caused the Cambrian explosion
Sixty-four cases of measels in the U.S., all but one in unvaccinated patients
Darkfrog submitted, created time 8 months 2 days (www.nytimes.com)
Measels is on the rise in the U.S. There have been sixty-four cases this year alone. Only one of these patients can be shown to have had the vaccine. There have been no fatalities so far.
Sixteen of these children are from families who declined vaccination for religious or other resasons, including fear of autism
Pro-separation student granted scholarship by ACLU
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 1 week (www.aclu.org)
This isn't science news, per se, but it ties in with another article that I recommended here several months back: (http://www.discover8.com/article/Teacher_Gets_Religious_Student_Gets_Death_Threats_0)
Last year, Matthew LaClair had a teacher who was promoting creationism and denouncing evolution and the big bang in his public school constitutional law class. (For my non-US buds out here, separation of church and state is a very important concept in the US
When Is Sedation Really Euthanasia?

Terminal sedation is the decision to keep dying patients, who cannot be made comfortable in any other way, unconscious until they die. But when is this the same as euthanasia?
How we judge the thoughts of others
jane2007 submitted, created time 9 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)
New research suggests we use the same brain region that we do when thinking about ourselves — but only as long as we judge the person to be similar to us. But this region does not become involved when second-guessing the opinions and feelings of those unlike ourselves. This may potentially helping to explain the causes of social tensions such as racism or religious disputes.
What Your Brain Looks Like on Faith
Eric wu submitted, created time 1 year 2 weeks (www.time.com)
Sam Harris is best known for his barn-burning 2004 attack on religion, The End of Faith, which spent 33 weeks on the New York Times best-seller List. The book's sequel, Letter to a Christian Nation also came out in editions totaling hundreds of thousands. Last Monday, however, the combative Californian produced a shorter (seven pages) and seemingly calmer publication that will be a hit if it reaches 10,000 readers: "Functional Neuroimaging of Belief, Disbelief and Uncertainty." It appears in the respected journal Annals of Neurology
Educator forced to resign after supporting evolution over creation science and I.D.
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 1 month (www.nytimes.com)
I read through the article and this isn't a clear-cut case of practical, honest teacher vs. backward, politicized school board. It seems that the Texas Education Agency's Director of Science, Christine Castillo Comer, routinely forwarded news articles to people on her large mailing list. One day, she forwarded an article from the National Center for Science Education (a pro-evolution group) about a talk on evolution vs. creationism
Why Science Can't Save the GOP

"Any Republicans who think the stem-cell breakthrough gets them off the hook are going to end up very unhappy. This issue will not go away." -- Michael Kinsley, Parkinson's patient.
Stem cells are a hot topic recently. Now this is the written from the political perspective; what's your opinion?
