Early one morning, a woman walks
into a pharmacy in need of Plan B. Plan A, a condom, as in
so many human interactions, went awry. The pharmacist, not
concerned with her complications with Plan A, provides some
instructions, and soon she walks out of the pharmacy with Plan
B.

Bush council
on bioethics antagonistic to human well-being
Few voices offering moral guidance in the rapidly
advancing field of biotechnology are as influential as the
President’s Council on Bioethics. Professing to uphold
man’s well-being, the council on April 1 called for regulating
the techniques and research leading to test-tube babies, including
a prohibition on attempts to conceive a child by any means
other than the “union of egg and sperm.” But its
professed goal is belied by the council’s moral viewpoint.

Bush administration
'censoring science'
On February 18, the Union of Concerned Scientists
(UCS) released a report, Scientific Integrity in Policymaking,
that detailed findings from its investigation into the Bush
Administration’s misuse of scientific information. According
to Kevin Knobloch, president of UCS, the Bush Administration
is censoring, suppressing, and distorting science to meet its
own agenda.
