What would yours be? ----- Advances in study, powerful tools have led to questions about impact on humans, society By Neo Chai Chin Jan 10, 2013 SINGAPORE - Should children be included in research on "smart drugs", or drugs that could improve their cognitive abilities? Should people lacking mental capacity be allowed to take part in genomic research? Does neuroscience research require more ethical safeguards than other types of biomedical research ? These are questions that the public is invited to mull over and provide feedback on, with the launch of a public consultation on Ethical , Legal and Social Issues in Neuroscience Research yesterday by the Bioethics Advisory Committee. Rapid advances in the study of the brain and the rest of the nervous system, as well as development of more powerful tools to explore and...

By Dr James Dobson I’m more convinced every day that a great portion of our adult effort is invested in the quest for that which was unreachable in childhood. The more painful the early void, the more we’re motivated to fill it later in life. A friend named Diane had a father who never met her needs for love and attention and belonging. Even today, he seems oblivious to the pain he has caused her. Diane used to find herself constantly feeling disappointed, hurt and rejected each time he failed to come through. But then she learned accidentally that he had been severely abused as a child. His own father and mother had died when he was a boy and the aunt who raised him was so severe, she even forbade him to cry. Diane suddenly saw her dad in a different light . He was not just a rejecting father, he was a man with an emotional handicap. Her experience is not unique. Loved ones who continually frustrate and disappoint us are often reacting to wounds from their own formative yea...

Posted: 18 May 2009 0407 hrs Barack Obama SOUTH BEND, Indiana : US President Barack Obama sought "common ground" in the decades-long culture war over abortion during a controversial address on Sunday at one of America's most prestigious Catholic universities. Obama delivered the commencement address for graduating students and received an honorary degree at the University of Notre Dame, pitting him headlong into the nation's bitter debate over an issue that he has tried hard to finesse. A few hundred activists lined the streets leading to the school's entrance holding signs with graphic pictures of aborted foetuses and denouncing Obama's support of abortion rights. Obama acknowledged that "at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable" but said the nation must find a way to "remain firm in our principles, and fight for what we consider right, without demonising those with just as strongly held convictions on the other side....

By Dr James Dobson Have you ever found the courage to say “I’m sorry” to a child? It’s a tough thing to do and, frankly, my father never was very good at it. I remember working with him one day in the backyard when I was 15, on a day when he was particularly irritable. He picked on me for everything I did, even when I hurried. Finally, he yelled at me for something I considered petty, and I just threw down the rake and quit. I walked off, and I walked across our property and down the street while my dad demanded that I come back. It was one of the few times that I ever took him on like that. I meandered around town for a while wondering what would happen when I got home and ended up at my cousin’s house on the other side of town. After several hours, with knees shaking, I called home. “Stay there,” said my dad, “I’m coming over.” To say that I was nervous would be a gross understatement. In a short time, dad arrived and asked to see me alone. “ Beau ,” he began, “I didn’t treat you ri...
