The troubled 29-year-old helped to die by Dutch doctors
In January a young Dutch woman drank poison supplied by a doctor and lay down to die. Euthanasia is legal in Holland, so hers was a death sanctioned by the state. But Aurelia Brouwers was not terminally ill – she was allowed to end her life on account of her psychiatric illness.

Iceland’s ethical debate: Should DNA donors be told if they are predisposed to a deadly disease?
If you knew someone was genetically predisposed to cancer, would you tell them? Dr. Kari Stefansson would. The Icelandic neurologist is the CEO of deCODE Genetics, a company that has collected the DNA of nearly half the country’s population. Using the company’s data, he said that he can pinpoint 1,600 people at risk of deadly cancers in Iceland. The government, however, won’t let him.

Scientists Can Design ‘Better’ Babies. Should They?
In vitro fertilization, or I.V.F., is by now broadly accepted, though it still has objectors, including the Roman Catholic Church. Designer-baby fears have proved in the main to be “overblown,” said Dr. Paula Amato, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. “We have not seen it with I.V.F. in general,” she told Retro Report. “We have not seen it with P.G.D.” In a different camp are those who invoke slippery slopes, fearing unpredictable genies that may be unleashed.

Why scientists created a human-chicken hybrid embryo
One of the biggest mysteries of human life is how we develop from a tiny ball of cells into a being with bones, muscle and organs. Now scientists have found a workaround.

Už embrionų saugojimą neišsimokančios poros bijo kraujomaišos
Užšaldytų embrionų saugojimas, dvejų metų terminas nuspręsti, ką daryti su likusiais embrionais, embrionų donorystės galimybė – visi šie klausimai vaikų trokštančioms susilaukti poroms iš pradžių yra antraeiliai. Svarbiausia – sėkmingai pastoti ir išnešioti vaikelį. Tačiau labai greitai tai, kas buvo nesvarbu, tampa labai aktualu. Ypač, kai tai liečia asmeninę kišenę.
