W. Malcolm Byrnes report on the prolife promise of induced pluripotent stem cells is a lucid presentation of a complex scientific and moral question. To hear more from Professor Byrnes, check out this week's podcast.
Our In These Pages selection this week looks at the thorny problem of immigration reform from south of the border. Read Tim Padgett's "It Starts in Mexico."
Finally, Drew Christiansen, S.J., offers this video commentary on the failure of climate change legislation in the Senate.
What was in Congress would not have affected the climate one iota and that is what has to be addressed. There are other much more effective measures. One source I suggest Fr. Christiansen examine is the work of Bjorn Lomborg. He has a much more interesting agenda for the world then the so called climate change advocates.
